Bushra El-Turk

Short Bio

Born in London, Bushra El-Turk’s music forebears the influence of her
Lebanese roots and rides the continuum between Eastern and Western
idioms in sound and ideology. Her work is often defined by the integration
of music and musicians from different cultural traditions, and the
compulsion to highlight and challenge socio-cultural issues. She was
selected by the BBC as one of the 100 most inspiring women of today. She
has written various works for the concert hall, dance, theatre and
multimedia performances. She has completed a PhD in Musical
Composition at the University of Birmingham, researching the integration
of Middle-Eastern and Western music. Bushra's work has been performed
by several (international) ensembles, including The London Symphony
Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Opera House London,
Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Hermes Ensemble (BE), Orkest
Utopica (PT), Athelas Sinfonietta (DK).
