Borusan Sanat, which has thus far offered a colourful programme every season, will continue to hold concerts in a safe environment. This season, with the belief that measures against the global pandemic should be implemented at the highest level, Borusan Sanat continues to protect music, art, and artists while also not compromising our sense of responsibility to our audience by performing all concerts closed to the public. Borusan İstanbul Philharmonic Orchestra's concerts, which are 12 concerts per season, has been increased to 28 concerts this season, including 24 live radio broadcasts and 4 radio recording broadcasts. Also, 4 live radio broadcasts from Borusan Quartet and 6 concert recordings from Borusan Music House will be broadcast on the online platform starting in December.

The power of the radio and sound…

Borusan Sanat is re-exploring the power of radio and sound in today's world dominated by screens and digitalization. Borusan İstanbul Philharmonic Orchestra's Opening Concert will be broadcast live at 19.00 on Thursday, October 15th on Borusan Klasik radio, which streams online from karnaval.com. In today’s world where digital production and our dependence on screens are under scrutiny, the fact that all Borusan Sanat concerts will be broadcast live on the radio will remind us of the power of sound and hearing, and perhaps more importantly, imagination.
