We were excited to host musician Ozan Aksoy, who came to Oswego to work with the cast and production team for a few days. On his first night, February 9, he had dinner with the cast, followed by a demonstration of Turkish music. Ozan was a great resource, attending rehearsals, answering questions by the cast, and providing continued feedback to Deanna on the show. He also gave a public informance on February 11, playing traditional Turkish music and discussing its history. The music "played" by characters in Pera Palas will be recordings of Ozan, taken during his visit.
