TUNES THAT SHAPE OUR WORLDWe have some tunes to share - and we are grateful for every breath, every note, every smile, and every opportunity given to us to share our love, our music with the world.
Let the music spread, let it bring joy and tranquility to the hearts... Let it shine on the dark sides of our planet, and let it wash the dust on our souls... Let it bring more peace, more light... Let there be more music, more love... |

THE LATEST PERFORMANCE
Istanbul Trio performed at The Museum of Modern at on June 19, 2018
for Michael Rakowitz's live reading for reimagining MoMA’s lost 1940 exhibition.
In 1940 as German armies swept across Europe, an exhibition was planned for The Museum of Modern Art intended to address the rising global threat of fascism and cultivate faith in American democracy. Known as Exhibition X, the project was never realized.
As part of MoMA's Artists Experiment, Michael Rakowitz worked with cultural professionals in Amman, Jordan, to develop a performative reading from the extensive archival material for Exhibition X, rewriting it from a Middle Eastern perspective and creating a link between New York’s (and MoMA’s) place as a hub for displaced artists in the 1940s and Amman’s similar role today amid ongoing conflict in that region.
Michelle Elligott, Chief of Archives, Library, and Research Collections, introduced her research into Exhibition X, and Rakowitz gave an introduction to his project. The script was read by Rakowitz, Noura Al Khasawneh, Yazan Ashqar, Lama Altakruri, and Toleen Touq. Each scene had its own atmosphere and required unique bits of music, performed live by Ertugrul Erkisi, Aslihan Erkisi, and Fatih Bayram. Following the reading, Rakowitz joined in conversation by Sean Anderson, Curator, Department of Architecture and Design.
