Two fine, young, chamber musicians, already with exciting, emerging careers. This season, the duo is performing in Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, London, Wales and Scotland. As well as a talented violinist, Ezo is a composer - her folk inspired compositions are premiering at the Barbican in 2025. This programme features Piazzolla’s ‘Le grand tango’, Korngold’s theatre music‘Much ado about nothing’, Lili Boulanger’s beautiful ‘3 Pieces’ and Ezo’s own variations on ‘Autumn Leaves’.

Duo Ekeš, featuring violinist Ezo Sarici and pianist Deniz Cengiz, is an emerging violin-piano duo praised for their compelling performances and comedic interaction with their audiences.

Duo Ekeš are dedicated to exploring the underplayed corners of the classical repertoire, with a particular passion for works by Turkish composers whose music remains largely unknown. Their performances as a duo have taken them to venues
such as Duke’s Hall, the Austrian Consulate of Istanbul, and Gregynog Hall in Wales, where they hold a residency.

They have earned recognition for their artistry and musical collaboration, connecting audiences with both familiar and lesser known works.
