Ertugrul Erkisi is a vocalist, oud performer, and ensemble director specializing in Ottoman–Turkish Makam music.
Across the United States, he is among the Turkish artists with the most extensive concert activity in Performing Arts Centers (PACs) within this field.
He is the artistic director of the Ertugrul Erkisi Ensemble and curator of the Istanbul Songs concert series.
“Çeçen Kızı” is one of the most iconic instrumental works of Tanburi Cemil Bey, performed here live in Seattle by the Ertugrul Erkisi Ensemble.
Composed in the Hüseyni makam, this piece reflects both elegance and emotional depth, moving freely between lyrical expression and rhythmic vitality.
Tanburi Cemil Bey is regarded as one of the greatest masters of Ottoman–Turkish music.
He was not only a visionary composer, but also an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist.
He performed the tanbur, classical kemençe, cello, lavta, and other instruments at an exceptional and deeply expressive level.
He is also the **inventor of the bowed tanbur (yaylı tambur)**, expanding the expressive possibilities of Turkish classical instruments and leaving a lasting mark on the history of makam music.
His phrasing, tone, and instrumental imagination shaped generations of musicians and continue to influence Turkish classical and instrumental music today.
This performance is an original live concert recording, capturing the spirit of
improvisation, balance, and ensemble dialogue that defines this tradition.
