Golnar Shahyar & CRR Jazz Orchestra

Born in Tehran and having studied music in Vienna following her migration to Canada, Golnar Shahyar is known for using her voice like an instrument and her improvisation skills. Alongside her solo work, the artist takes part in international projects building a bridge between Eastern and Western music; she also worked as a composer and performance artist in productions for institutions such as Deutsche Oper Berlin and Volkstheater Wien. Also known in Turkey for her work with Erkan Oğur, the musician works academically as a guest lecturer at Salzburg Mozarteum University and the Sibelius Academy.

Accompanying Shahyar at the concert, the CRR Jazz Orchestra was founded in 2007 under the name CRR Big Band and expanded in 2013 with the addition of a string section. Focusing on world music and traditional music with an academic and research-oriented approach, the ensemble features vocal works on stage alongside instrumental pieces.

The event takes place at the CRR Concert Hall located on Darülbedayi Street in the Harbiye neighborhood of Şişli. The concert begins on October 30, 2026, at 20.00.
