In early 19th-century Constantinople, Ottoman-Armenian musician Hampartsum Limondjian developed a unique notation system that became a cornerstone for Turkish Classical Music. Used for over two centuries, this notation preserved thousands of compositions, allowing rich musical traditions to endure. Turkish Classical Music embodies a rich history, shaped by diverse cultural contributions over centuries. Through the Hamparsum project, with support from musicologist Tülin Değirmenci, we aim to revive these historical works, exploring the deep interconnectedness within this music and sharing it with audiences today.
