Canan Özgür, an award-winning opera singer and Associate Professor at Ankara Music and Fine Arts University, will take part in an Erasmus+ teaching mobility in Spain, bringing Turkish vocal repertoire to an international academic setting.
Hosted by Conservatorio Superior de Música Rafael Orozco, the program will take place between April 21–23, 2026, in Córdoba, as part of the Erasmus+ collaboration between the conservatory and Ankara Music and Fine Arts University. Within this framework, Özgür will work with voice students in the Andalusia region, focusing on interpretation and performance.
At the heart of this exchange is a repertoire that carries cultural depth and musical nuance. Introducing works by prominent Turkish composers such as Muammer Sun and Turgay Erdener, Özgür’s teaching aims to create a dialogue between traditions—allowing Spanish students to engage with the tonal language, phrasing, and emotional landscape of Turkish vocal music.
By carrying songs across borders, Özgür contributes to a growing space where music becomes a common language—one that transcends geography while remaining deeply rooted in its origins. Through this residency, Turkish compositions will find new voices in Córdoba, shaped by a different cultural context yet connected through the universality of sound and interpretation.
