The Bilkent Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1993 as an original artistic project of Bilkent University. Developed by the Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, the orchestra is composed of over ninety proficient artists and academicians of the Faculty from Turkey and twelve countries. With these characteristics the Bilkent Symphony Orchestra is the first private, international and academic artistic ensemble in Turkey. With Turkish and foreign guest conductors, soloists and choirs, the orchestra has distinguished itself through its season of over eighty concerts a year. Bilkent Music Production, Naxos, CPO, Alpha and EMI have released over fifty CDs of the orchestra. Through events such as the Bilkent Concert Series, Turkish Composers’ Week, Education Concerts and The Bilkent International Anatolia Music Festival, the orchestra aims to bring a wide range of activities to large audiences, to spread the appreciation of music at national level, undertake international activities and develop cooperation with institutions abroad.
