Tekfen Philharmonic Orchestra is the 2019- 2022 Opening Concert Orchestra of the Istanbul Music Festival.

Tekfen Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Aziz Shokhakimov, will accompany the prestigious pianist Anna Vinnistkaya. Vinnitskaya’s technical splendor is not a virtuosic means in itself, but blends with a natural, always colourful sound. She is a major pianist of our time who tells stories with her music. Her particular emphasis lies on the great Russian piano composers such as Rachmaninov, Prokofiev or Shostakovich.
