  Izmir to have a huge Art Center

  One of the most important projects undertaken to revive the city of İzmir’s cultural and artistic heritage, the Adnan Saygun Art Center, is set to open soon.
  
  According to a statement made by the İzmir Municipality, the famous Turkish pianist, Gülsin Onay, who resides in London, came to İzmir to see the construction of the center that bears the name of her teacher, Ahmet Adnan Saygun, a late State Artist and composer of the first Turkish opera.
  
  Onay, pointing out the importance of the center's concert hall, with a capacity of 1,255 people, said, "This will be a huge artistic structure and a unique arts center for the country."
  
  She said that once it opened, she would no longer be jealous of art centers in other cities such as New York, Berlin and Paris, because the Adnan Saygun Art Center would be just as magnificent.
  
  Saygun dedicated his two concertos to Onay
  Onay, who graduated from the Paris Conservatory at the age of 16, gave her first concert in Europe when she was just 18. She received the title of State Artist in 1987 and was chosen as a goodwill ambassador in 2003, by the UNICEF Turkey National Committee. She was also awarded a Polish State Medal due to her successful interpretation of Chopin's compositions.
  
  Saygun dedicated his second piano concerto to Onay, who is a powerful interpreter of Saygun's compositions.
