Well-known Greek composer and soundtrack writer Eleni Karaindrou's arrival in Turkey this past week is of a different sort of reconciliatory tone than that of the Pope, as she joined musical forces with Turkish colleagues on Sunday night in a concert organized by Istanbul's Encounter of North-South Musicians for Peace.
This is Karaindrou's debut performance in Turkey as well as her first collaboration with Turkish musicians, and the artist hopes to create a different kind of peace dialogue during her visit.
Karaindrou performed in the closing event of the annual Pera Fest, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year.
DF: Karaindrou is best known for her music for the films by Theo Angelopoulos.
