From the Frontline to Friendship

Melodies of Gallipoli

Presented by Australian Turkish Melodies of Peace

Details

Gallipoli’s legacy remembered through Turkish-Australian musical experience for all.

The Australian Turkish Melodies of Peace Inc. (ATMP) initiative proudly presents Melodies of Gallipoli, a profound musical tribute to the legacy of Gallipoli.

With text by Professor Iskender Pala and arrangements by conductor Iskender Ozan Toprak, this concert brings together renowned ten artists from Türkiye, a 30-piece Australian orchestra, and vocalists, creating an unforgettable fusion of Western and Eastern music.

This event invites Australians, including those of Turkish heritage, to reflect on Gallipoli’s history through music. Stories of mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters—both those who served and those who waited at home—will be vividly portrayed. Aimed at reconnecting future generations with the ANZAC legacy, this concert provides an educational, inspiring experience to expand musical appreciation and cultural understanding.

Melodies of Gallipoli is presented under the auspices of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye, which oversees and organises all arrangements regarding the participation of Turkish artists, with sponsorship from Turkish Airlines and ATMP’s supporters.
