Our History
Ottawa Turkish Music Chorus was founded in 2001. In 2006 it was incorporated as a non-profit organization, under the name of Ottawa Turkish Music Ensemble. The object of the Ensemble is to introduce and promote traditional Turkish music - classical and folkloric- and to work closely with other ethnic groups in Canada with the goal of building bonds of friendship around the idea of multiculturalism.
Our Conductor
Ismail Hakki Fencioglu was born in Turkey, in 1968, into a family with a rich musical tradition. He started playing "ud" professionally at the Municipal Conservatory of Bursa, in 1986. A year later he enrolled in the department of chant of State Conservatory of Istanbul Technical University. He worked with Alaeddin Yavasca, Bekir Sitki Sezgin and Tulin Yakarcelik, and he specialized in classical Turkish music singing techniques. While still a student, he gave many performances on television together with his teachers and solo. He was a member of the State Classical Turkish Music Chorus conducted by Nevzat Atlig. After earning his Bachelor's degree from the Conservatory, he started working as an arranger and composer in various audio recording studios.
He is also a master builder of musical instruments. Since his arrival in Canada in 2001 he has been conducting Turkish music choruses in Ottawa and in Montréal, that presented 17 successful joint concerts so far. Ismail Hakki Fencioglu regularly performs together with Jason Rosenblatt (Shtreiml). Their first album called "Fenci’s Blues" has recently been released. He performed with the renowned Turkish musician Erkan Ogur at the "Festival du Monde Arabe" and with Karen Young at the "Festival de Musique Multi-Montréal". In 2006 he performed in several concerts with the Peruvian artist Lucho Quequzana.
