In 1993 and 1994 he worked in the Kuhmo Chamber Music orchestra as Conductor and Assistant Artistic Director.

 

His carrier in Turkey started without rehearsal performance of SALOME by R. Strauss with the Istanbul State Opera. This very successful performance brought him to be the conductor of the Istanbul State Opera for the coming four years. Amongst the repertoire he conducted during this period, there were masterpieces such as G.MAHLER 8. Symphony, AIDA, TURANDOT. 

 

 

After this, he moved on to be the founding Conductor of the Bursa Regional State Symphony Orchestra (1999-2011) Than he was the Conductor of Antalya State Symphony Orchestra (2011-2015). He is still the Conductor and General Music Director of the Cukurova State Symphony Orchestra.

He is also the permanent guest Conductor of the EAFIT Symphony Orchestra in Medellin Colombia.

 

In addition to his Classic Music carrier, blending the Turkish Music culture running in his family since generations with his years of training in Classical Music, he produced many new projects and Works bringing different musical disciplines together, in the pursuit of bringing the polyphonic music to new audiences. Some of these works have also been performed in concerts abroad. With these Works, he initiated the beginning of a new genre, embraced by many colleagues and younger generations. A new style has emerged, bringing musicians of various styles and disciplines together under the principles of Symphonic Music, creating new pieces of work. He still continues his work in this field with various projects, in his quest for new horizons for Turkish music.
