In recent years, I have found myself increasingly drawn toward contemporary music. Performing works by composers such as Beat Furrer, Salvatore Sciarrino, and Luciano Berio, Fazıl Say, has taken me to festivals and venues including the Salzburg Festival and the Lucerne Festival, and into inspiring collaborations with conductors such as Vimbayi Kaziboni and Matthias Pintscher, as well as with ensembles including Klangforum Wien.

​

Art song remains at the heart of my artistic life. It has led to long-standing and meaningful collaborations with pianists such as Julius Drake, Saskia Giorgini, and Charles Spencer,  and to performances at venues including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Wiener Konzerthaus. I have also worked alongside leading interpreters of our time, among them Ian Bostridge and Julian Prégardien.

​

On the opera stage, I have embodied roles such as Cherubino (Le Nozze di Figaro), Annio (La Clemenza di Tito), the Sorceress (Dido and Aeneas), Hänsel (Hänsel und Gretel), and Bradamante (Alcina). These engagements brought me into collaboration with directors including David Hermann, Eva-Maria Höckmayr, Marco Štorman, and Cesare Lievi, as well as with conductors such as Nicholas Carter and Keri-Lynn Wilson.

​

I was born in Istanbul and studied voice at the Istanbul State Conservatory. From my early student years, I took part in international projects across the United States and Europe, collaborating with conductors such as Helmuth Rilling, Christoph Eschenbach, and Andrés Orozco-Estrada.

​

In 2012, I won the National Opera Singers Competition in Turkey. In 2015, I moved to Austria as the recipient of music scholarships from Borusan and the Austrian High School Foundation, completing my Master’s degree at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz with Ulf Bästlein and Holger Falk.

​

My artistic development has been shaped through masterclasses with Brigitte Fassbaender, Roberta Alexander, Charles Spencer, Christoph Prégardien, and Richard Stokes. I was a Britten-Pears Young Artist in 2017, a prizewinner of the Nordfriesischer Liedpreis des Landes Schleswig-Holstein, and a scholar of the State of Styria. Alongside my performing work, I regularly give masterclasses and teach voice and body.
