The programme, presented by the Yunus Emre Institute in London, will start with a unique scene-setting introduction given by bestselling author Louis de Bernieres from his novel Birds Without Wings, which is partly set in Gallipoli. The musical focus of the concert is Turkish composer Can Atilla’s powerful 2015 requiem symphony Gallipoli – the 57th Regiment, written specially for the centenary of the Gallipoli Campaign and which makes its international debut at Cadogan Hall. The composition cleverly uses Edwardian English tonalities to capture the pathos of the campaign, Atatürk’s role and his magnanimity in victory. . Cadogan Hall, London DD/MM/YYYY
