From Jazzed-Up Chopin to Turkish Shakespeare: February at the
Bilkent Concert Hall
 
The Bilkent Symphony Orchestra is opening the second half of its
2004-2005 concert season with a February program schedule not to be missed. In addition to
the BSO's regular schedule of concerts, February programs include jazz, youth and benefit
concerts, and a special presentation by Prof. Yıldız Kenter and Prof. Talat Halman.
The BSO started the month with a concert on Saturday, February 5, conducted by Music
Director Emil Tabakov and featuring mezzo-soprano Martina Tomcic. The program featured the
“Alpine Symphony” by
R. Strauss and G. Mahler’s “Kindertotenlieder.”
The next concert, on Thursday, February 10, will be a benefit
performance, with proceeds going to the disaster victims in South Asia. The concert,
entitled “Shakespeare Çağı,” is being organized by the Bilkent Student Council and
the Education Club, in cooperation with the Turkish National Committee for UNICEF. It will
take place at 8 p.m. at the Bilkent Concert Hall, and the program will

TDP Activities for the New Semester
TDP (Toplumsal
Duyarlılık Projeleri) is ready for the new semester. Most of us know TDP
through its support of the Gönüllü Eğitim Projesi (GEP), which
provides education for underprivileged children. TDP organizes the participation
of Bilkent students who volunteer to teach these children. GEP can be supported
not only by volunteering, but also by donating books and clothing. GEP will start
again during the first week of school.
Another important TDP project, GÖREP (Görme Engelliler Eğitim
Projesi), resumed on February 5 for visually impaired students, some of whom are now
preparing for the ÖSS (University Entrance Examination). GÖREP (a
group assisting the visually impaired) has reported that Bilkent volunteers devoted 40
hours of work to this project last semester. The aim is to increase the total this term.
A new activity being organized by Bilkenters for GÖREP students, theater
classes, began on February 6. In addition, a jazz concert to benefit GÖREP is
being planned for March, with the help of the Uygar Görme Engelliler Derneği.
The concert will take place at the Bilkent Concert Hall.
