Kamran Ince

He entered the Ankara State Conservatory at the age of ten, in 1971, where he began studying cello and piano, and took composition lessons with İlhan Baran.

In 1977 Ince entered the İzmir University where he studied composition with Muammer Sun,[3] but returned to the United States in 1978.

His teachers there included David Burge (piano), Joseph Schwantner, Christopher Rouse, Samuel Adler and Barbara Kolb (composition).

[3][4] In addition, Kamran İnce was one of the founders of the Center for Advanced Studies in Music at the Istanbul Technical University, whose academic staff he has been in since 1999.

by its ability to pinpoint the sonorous strains present in the jagged dissonance of elements such as a smooth cello yearning suddenly broken by an incongruent spatter of drum beats.

A critic for the Los Angeles Times called himthat rare composer, able to sound connected with modern music and yet still seem exotic, Kamran Ince is a force on the cutting edge of contemporary composition, bridging the East and the West.
