Timur Selçuk-1978 ODTÜ Konseri

He is the son of well-known composer of Turkish neo-classical music, Münir Nurettin Selçuk. He started playing piano at the age of five and gave his first concert at seven. He was educated in Galatasaray Lisesi and Istanbul Municipality Conservatory. Selçuk returned home after his study at the "Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris" and became a pioneer of the political composers in Turkey. With his chansons, he repeatedly stormed the hit lists. He is the founder and the conductor of the Istanbul Chamber Orchestra. He composed a great number of music to films and theater works, and also to the poems of Nazım Hikmet. He twice participated in the Eurovision Song Contest; in 1975, he conducted the first ever Turkish entry, "Seninle Bir Dakika", that had been composed and arranged by others. Fourteen years later, in 1989, he returned as composer, lyricist, arranger and conductor for "Bana Bana", that was performed by the group Pan. One of the singers of the group was his daughter. The song finished 21st., in spite of Selçuk's spectacular way of conducting the Swiss orchestra.
