World Akustik Ilhan Ersahin’s Istanbul Sessions

Yapi Kredi bomontiada Babylon is hosting Ilhan Ersahin’s Istanbul Sessions project as part of the World Akustik concert series. Taking place at the venue located inside the historic Bomonti Brewery in Sisli, the event welcomes music lovers on Wednesday evening, November 18, at 20.00.

Founded in 2008, Istanbul Sessions brings the city’s eclectic energy to the stage with a structure that blends elements of jazz, rock, and dance music. Ilhan Ersahin is accompanied in the group by Alp Ersönmez on bass guitar, Turgut Alp Bekoğlu on drums, and İzzet Kızıl on percussion.

The group features compositions shaped around the concepts of place, movement, and transformation in their sixth studio album, “Mahalle,” which was released to listeners in January. Having performed on major stages in Turkey and Europe as well as the Americas and Brazil, the ensemble creates a different musical experience at every concert with its improvisation-heavy structure.
