Fazil Say live in Weerselo

Experience Fazil Say live on August 25th

Fazil Say, a Turkish pianist and composer, will perform at De Stiftskerk in Weerselo, Netherlands on August 25, 2026. Say’s musical style is characterized by a vibrant fusion of classical traditions with influences from jazz, traditional Turkish music, and contemporary idioms. His compositions often feature rhythmic complexity, lyrical melodies, and a demonstrative emotional range. He is known for both his interpretations of established repertoire – particularly Romantic composers like Rachmaninoff and Liszt – and his original works including piano concertos, symphonies, and chamber music.

De Stiftskerk is a historical church building located in Weerselo. Originally constructed in the 15th century as a collegiate church dedicated to Saint Mary, it served as part of a larger monastic complex belonging to the Norbertine order. The building underwent significant renovations in the late Gothic style during the 16th century. Following religious changes in the Netherlands, it transitioned into a Protestant church in the 17th century and continues to function as such today. The church is noted for its architectural features including stained glass windows and its organ, making it a venue frequently used for concerts due to its acoustics.
