Balmorhea

Texas Experimental Music Group Balmorhea in Istanbul on October 16!

The Texas instrumental experimental music group Balmorhea, which gained a large following in Türkiye with the track “Remembrance” featured on the soundtrack of the film ‘Delibal’, will meet Istanbul music lovers on the IF Performance Hall Beşiktaş stage on the evening of October 16, 2026, with organization by Epifoni and the contribution of %100 Müzik.

Founded in Austin in 2006 by Rob Lowe and Michael Muller, Balmorhea has earned worldwide acclaim for many years with its distinctive instrumental sound inspired by post-rock, indie folk, jazz, and classical music. The group’s calm and emotional melodies have resonated in many different settings, from Gothic cathedrals to modern art museums, and from rock clubs to international festivals. 

Balmorhea has shared the stage with names such as Fleet Foxes, Mono, Tortoise, Bear in Heaven, Sharon Van Etten, Damien Jurado, and Here We Go Magic, and continues to constantly expand the boundaries of neo-classical instrumental music.

Released in 2025, The Trap (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) drew attention in the music world as the soundtrack album the group prepared for Lena Headey’s first feature film. With its tones woven from piano, vibraphone, atmospheric guitars, and analog synthesizers, the album carries the Balmorhea sound into a cinematic dimension and deepens the group’s work in film music. 

With its emotionally intense melodies, atmospheric structure, and powerful stage storytelling, Balmorhea’s Istanbul concert will meet music lovers as a special evening offering a unique example of instrumental music.
