I was always the kid on scholarship, I was a soloist with my company, I'd been working with the symphony since I was 14.
Every family in Konya has at least one shoemaker in their midst, and I am one of those families.
I've been traveling all over the world for 25 years, performing, talking to people, studying their cultures and musical instruments, and I always come away with more questions in my head than can be answered.
