Western concert flute

A 1,600-year-old flute and bronze ring with a key have been unearthed during excavations in the 3,000-year-old Zerzevan Castle, located in the Çınar district of Diyarbakır and which served as the last garrison of the Roman Empire in the east. The castle is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List.

Young Turkish flutist Ece Selin Yüksel has received the "Best Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Composer Performance Special Award" from the British Flute Society.

She won the award with her instructor Hakan Halit Turgay's composition, which he dedicated to her.

Panos Karan (piano), Zach Tarpagos (flute), Ana Chifu (flute) and Maria Bildea (harp) will present a concert of classical music in aid of the charity Keys of Change, at St Paul's Anglican Church on Monday, March 20.
