Skyline Sessions: Apollo Chamber Players - "Thracian Airs of Besime Sultan"

Houston's Apollo Chamber Players commissioned Turkish-born composer Erberk Eryilmaz to write a piece of music inspired by Roma (Gypsy) traditions for a recital exploring Roma folk music. Eryilmaz’s piece, "Thracian Airs of Besime Sultan," is based around folk music from the Balkan region of eastern Europe. Apollo's recital, "Roma Folk Lyricism," took place May 1st at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music.

Love this composition, and played with such passion and mastery! Your commissioning of new works in ethnic traditions is a major accomplishment--bravo.
