Fazıl Say Jazz Quintet
World-renowned pianist and composer Fazıl Say is embarking on a tour of Türkiye this summer with his new jazz-focused project, “Say Plays Jazz on Tour with Škoda.” Organized by Pozitif Müzik, the tour will meet music lovers with 10 concerts in 7 cities, while this journey accompanied by Škoda becomes a special project bringing Fazıl Say’s distinctive expression in classical music together with the improvisational spirit of jazz. This project comes to life onstage with the Fazıl Say Jazz Quintet.
Led by Fazıl Say, the Fazıl Say Jazz Quintet offers an immersive stage experience that goes beyond the classical concert format and unfolds as a seamless whole. Audiences will hear a new work that Fazıl Say has composed especially for the jazz quintet.
The project’s repertoire carries not only musical but also intellectual depth. The cultural bridge between East and West opens a space for awareness of today’s global crises, social issues, nature, and life. Shaped by the universal language of music, this narrative invites listeners on both an aesthetic and emotional journey.
“Say Plays Jazz on Tour with Škoda” offers a timeless, holistic experience that brings summer evenings together with the unifying power of music.
