Documentary – Leyla Gencer: La Diva Turca
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In our final event of the year, we hosted the screening of Leyla Gencer: La Diva Turca<\/strong> , an inspiring biographical documentary attributed to Leyla Gencer, one of the greatest sopranos of the 20th century – based on Zeynep Oral<\/strong>\u2019s novel \u201cLeyla Gencer, a story of passion\u201c and directed by Selcuk Metin.<\/p>\n

It was an honour to meet these amazingly creative people in person: Zeynep Oral – acclaimed writer, journalist, critic and human rights advocate who enlightens us about the almost forgotten existence of Leyla Gencer and ensures that our very own diva will be remembered as one of the major musical idols in Turkish history.<\/p>\n

Selcuk Metin<\/strong> – director, visionary and perseverant researcher; brilliantly captures the juxtaposed persona of Leyla Gencer, a fierce and extremely talented soprano who ruled the world of opera\u2019s Bel Canto genre despite her ceaseless stage fright, unforgiving rivals and the many difficulties of her times.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Festival – April 23 National Sovereignty and Children\u2019s Day<\/h4>\n

April 23rd is the first and only celebrated children\u2019s day<\/strong> in the world. It is also the date of the establishment of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, where the first seeds of the modern Turkish Republic were planted. Our great leader Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk gifted this momentous day to our beloved children, which is now known as National Sovereignty and Children\u2019s Day. We are justifiably proud and happy to be celebrating its 102nd Anniversary.<\/p>\n

Dear Ankara Library Friends, we wanted to dedicate this special day to the conversation of our two special guests, Bahar \u00d6zdemir<\/strong> and \u00d6m\u00fcr Kurt<\/strong>. They will shed light on and open new doors for us on the topic of how to raise our children and keep them in touch with their roots even if they are thousands of kilometers away from our homeland. These two valuable guests gave us a warm and hopeful conversation based on their experience and what they did for children. We sincerely hope you don\u2019t miss this insightful discussion.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\"Evrim[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
