Dilay Ra Oygür's performance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall
July 19th, 2023 Charles W. Liu Fine Violins congratulates Dilay Ra Oygür on winning first prize at the Golden Classical Music Awards 2023 International Competition. The purpose of this competition is to discover promising young musical artists and help launch their careers. Dilay flew all the way from her home in Turkey to perform at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. In previous years, Dilay has been flown to the United States to perform at Carnegie Hall with the sponsorship of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Turkey and Turkish Airlines. Many people helped to make Dilay's recent performance possible. We were delighted to loan her a fine Franco-Italian cello by Alberto Blanchi for this special occasion. |
