Concert
November 17, 2016 / 20:00
Complementing Pera Film's "Tune In!" program, Istanbul based quintet Flapper Swing will perform a concert on 17 November Thursday at Pera Café.
Flapper Swing
Flapper Swing is an Istanbul based quintet playing Django Reinhardt’s style of jazz, “Jazz Manouche”. These five musicians were brought together by their passion for taunting acoustic sounds of gypsy swing and they are focusing on 1920s and 1930s repertoire, played with authentic sound of that period. In their performances the band is striving to bring the audience an atmosphere of roaring twenties and ballroom parties, the “Golden Era” of Jazz.
Held at Pera Café, the concert is free of admissions. Space is limited, drop in.
Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.
Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
