BORUSAN SANAT

Borusan Sanat, with Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra (BIPO), which comprises some of Turkey’s best classical musicians and has set its sights on becoming one of Europe’s leading symphony orchestras, at its heart, is also home to the Borusan Quartet, Academy BIPO, the Borusan Children’s Choir, Borusan Music House, and Borusan Klasik, an Internet-based classical music radio station. Led by its Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Sascha Goetzel, BIPO has established a cultural bridge between Europe and Turkey while expanding the popularity of classical music in our country through regular concerts in Istanbul and tours in Europe. BIPO reached more than 20 thousand audiences at its concerts throughout 2018.

Borusan Music House plays a vital role in bringing Borusan Sanat to a larger audience, especially appealing to younger audiences through concerts hosting alternative names in contemporary, new and world music.

Borusan Klasik, Turkey’s only Internet-based classical music radio station, plays a crucial role in Borusan’s drive to support classical music and to present it to a wider audience by its experienced radio program producers and guests in varied programs that become more extensive by the month.
