Beschreibung | İlhan Usmanbaş (born 23 October 1921) is a Turkish contemporary classical composer. Born in Istanbul, Usmanbaş grew up in Ayvalık. When he was twelve years old, his elder brother gave him a cello, and İlhan began to teach himself to play. After moving back to Istanbul, he studied the cello seriously. His maths teacher, a lover of music, advised Usmanbaş to give up the career that he had planned for himself: "We have enough engineers in Turkey. You should be a composer instead." Usmanbaş is married to opera singer Atıfet Usmanbaş. |
