The General Directorate of Fine Arts will launch a comprehensive digital archive featuring historical musical notes, hymns, ghazals, concert recordings, and stage performances dating from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, making them available for art lovers and researchers.

New Season Activities Begin

29 orchestras, choirs, and ensembles affiliated with the General Directorate will meet with art lovers in the new art season. The new season activities will officially begin with special opening concerts to be held in Ankara and Istanbul.
