Tanini Trio Concert @ KLPAC 塔尼尼三重奏演奏会

Chin Yee scored us some tickets to Tanini Concert at KLPAC so of course we went to check out what it was all about.

前些日子，我从网上得知了这场演奏会，而且他们还免费邀请民众去观赏。想当然的，我们绝对不会错过这个好机会啦~

You guys are probably wondering who are the Tanini Trio? Tanini Trio is a Turkish band consisting of Tahir Aydoğdu playing Kanoun, Bilgin Canaz playing Ney & Hakan Ali Toker playing Piano.

塔尼尼三重奏是由来自土耳其的三位音乐家所组成的，他们分别是演奏卡农琴的Tahir Aydoğdu，负责奈伊笛的Bilgin Canaz，以及钢琴演奏家Hakan Ali Toker。

I'm sure some of you, like Chin Yee and me have no idea what are these instruments....well, except the piano, everyone knows that. So that you guys have an idea what instruments were used, here are some pics of the said instruments:

除了钢琴，其他两位所使用的乐器都是民族乐器。卡农琴就好像中国的古筝，演奏方式也和古筝大同小异；奈伊笛就类似中国的长笛，而两者的音色也不相伯仲，都很优美。

The Tanini Trio held a concert at KLPAC on 28th August 2017. The concert was organised by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü Kuala Lumpur in order to promote Turkish culture to Malaysia. Yunus Emre Enstitüsü Kuala Lumpur is a non-profit organisation whose aim is to promote Turkish culture.

这场演奏会是由Yunus Emre Enstitüsü Kuala Lumpur 主办的，这是一家土耳其政府创办的非营利性组织，目的是为了向全世界推广土耳其的文化。
多亏了他们，我们才能够透过音乐来认识土耳其的民族文化。

The performance began with Tahir Aydoğdu playing Kanoun, who was later joined by Bilgin Canaz playing Ney. After that, they were joined by Hakan Ali Toker playing Piano. They played classical Turkish music to their own rendition of classical music from other countries. There was even a segment where they improvised by using someone's phone number to create new music.

At the end of the show, the band ended with a song they said they recently learned. Since I was August, I thought that maybe it was our national anthem but it turned out to be Suasana Hari Raya. They asked the audience to sing along and they did! I wanted to sing along but I don't know all the lyrics. I have to say this was the song I enjoyed the most because I actually knew it.

演奏会由卡农琴的独奏拉开序幕，过后就加入了奈伊笛，之后才以钢琴的演奏完成三重奏。他们的音乐都有很丰富的民族色彩，而且非常愉悦。我一直在想，怎么他们不多邀请几位舞蹈家呢？这样的话，表演或许就更加完整了。

演奏会上，三人也充分展现了音乐家的深厚功力。他们用十个音阶代替十个号码，并向观众索取电话号码，然后就依据号码顺序来编成一首全新的曲子。如果不是三人的默契以及强大的音乐底子，我相信这场演奏会就不会如此成功了。

最后，他们三人也为马来西亚的观众献上了我们很熟悉的一首歌曲 - Suasana Hari Raya，他们更邀请现场一起大合唱。但，我记不得歌词啊~~ 所以就没唱。

All in all, I have to be honest I'm not a fan of instrumental only music, so it wasn't really my thing. However, it was still a fun experience!

这是一个很难得的机会，能够让我们认识其他国家的音乐文化。这不仅仅是一场演奏会，更是一个值得珍惜的缘分。
