Mert Pekduraner | Concert

Composer and guitarist Mert Pekduraner brings his group project to Komünite on 25 March 2027 at 9:30 PM.

Blending a contemporary compositional approach with the sounds of Anatolia, Pekduraner offered a glimpse of what the future of music might sound like with “Kıyı,” a piece he composed for the 17th Venice Biennale in 2020. His debut album, “Geriye Ne Kaldı?” (2021), followed by “DIALOGUES IN THE DARK” (2022), established him as an artist with a distinctive musical voice and a growing audience. He has performed both with his group and as a solo artist at festivals and venues including Akbank Jazz Festival, Borusan Music House and Cappadox. In 2026, he released his three-track EP, “yüzümden denizler dökülüyor,” and continues to develop his musical language.

In their live performances, the group revisits tracks from the albums through arrangements that create ample space for improvisation, allowing the music to take on a new form each time they perform.
