JOHNNIES & 
MEHMETS

Johnnies (ANZACs) and Mehmets (Ottoman soldiers) symbolise the respect between nations who raised arms against each other at the historical Gallipoli Campaign. The relationship between Türkiye and Australia has been forged in the furnace of affliction, and now we celebrate, through music, what is an enduring connection. Reconciliation, sacrifice and peace are the perfect words to describe our mutual story. Join us as we delve into a thrilling programme, from the oriental soundscape of “1001 Nights in a Harem” by Fazil Say, through to traditional Turkish folk songs, and original works for violin and percussion by Australian composers Matthew Hindson and Gerard Brophy. Featuring violinist Margaret Blades (SXS, WASO, ASO), percussionist Dave Kemp (QSO, Camerata, Topology) and pianist Roger Cui (Queensland Ballet), this performance promises to be a unique musical celebration of friendship born from war, 110 years ago.
