We invite you to an exciting online event for young artists to share their experiences and present their creative ideas!

During this gathering, we will hear directly from young artists across different fields, including music, theater, and dance, as they share their journeys of growth.

Who Is Ayberk Oğul Konca?

Ayberk Oğul Konca was born in Bursa in 2000. He began his music education at Zeki Müren Fine Arts High School and was later accepted with high honors to the Music Theory Department at Ankara University of Music and Fine Arts. In 2020, he was awarded a full scholarship to study Composition and Conducting at Bahçeşehir University Conservatory. After serving as an instructor and choir member in the MAGMA & Boğaziçi Jazz Choir Family, he took on the role of conductor for the MAGMA Youth Choir in 2021 and later became co-conductor of the MAGMA Performance Choir. For the 2023-2024 season, he was appointed as the primary conductor of both the MAGMA Performance and MAGMA Chamber Choirs, leading them to win several awards, including the Jury Special Prize and Excellence in A Cappella Performance.

Having worked with notable names such as Cem’i Can Deliorman, Oğuzhan Balcı, Ragnar Rasmussen, Lorenzo Donati, Jan Schumacher, Bob Chilcott, and Ko Matsushita, Konca has performed as both a chorister and cellist in various concerts domestically and abroad. In 2022, he released a song titled "Belki Geçer Zaman" with the alternative Turkish music band Yalnayak.
