Echoing Travelogues: The Beyond and Us is a concert project led by Amsterdam-based composer and performer Emine Bostancı, exploring how the intertwined histories of travel and migration have shaped cultural and musical identities. Inspired by centuries of encounters across Ottoman, Persian, and European worlds, the project reimagines historical music as a path toward self-understanding. As the performers trace the footsteps of past travelers and diplomats, they pose a resonant question: "Though we travel to explore the other, what we find often reflects our own story."
