Biography
Cemi’i Can Deliorman (*1984) is an acclaimed young conductor from Turkey. In September

leads regular tours in Turkey as well as in Europe and he is often invited to distinguished

His repertoire spans the great symphonic and choral-orchestral works – from Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Dvořák, Mahler, Rimsky-Korsakov, Franck and Orff – to rarities and premieres. He introduced Turkish audiences to cello concerti by Arthur Honegger and Erich Korngold and recorded Ligeti’s Chamber Concerto and Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony with the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra. A strong advocate of contemporary music, he remains committed to championing new works and living composers.
"He shows strong will and high musicality combined with a very good feeling and competence how to work with musicians. On stage he impresses with musical fire and control."

""There is something inspiring and genuine in the way he works with the orchestra, much more than a stunning conductor: an accomplished artist."
