Fazil Say live in Weerselo

Experience Fazil Say live on August 28th

Fazil Say, a Turkish pianist and composer, will perform at De Stiftskerk in Weerselo, Netherlands on August 28, 2026. Say’s musical style is characterized by a vibrant fusion of classical traditions with influences from jazz, traditional Turkish music, and elements of improvisation. His compositions often feature rhythmic complexity and a lyrical quality, frequently exploring themes of cultural identity and human experience. He is known for both his virtuosic piano playing and his often politically charged and emotionally resonant compositions.

De Stiftskerk, meaning “Abbey Church,” in Weerselo holds historical significance as a former chapter church of the nearby Klooster Sint Aegidiën (St. Giles Abbey), founded in the 12th century. The current neo-Gothic building dates primarily from the late 19th century, constructed after a fire destroyed its predecessor in 1873. It represents an important example of Gothic Revival architecture in the Twente region of the Netherlands. The church features stained glass windows depicting scenes from the life of Saint Aegidius and boasts significant historical artwork within its interior. Its acoustics are considered particularly well-suited to musical performances, making it a popular venue for concerts.
