The “Trio Bellapaix” chamber music group, formed by Cypriot artists Nihat Ağdaç (Violin), Gürhan Nuray (Cello) and Rüya Taner (Piano) by combining the soloistic capacities of their instruments with their career accumulation and experience, gave a concert at EMU Education Faculty, Fine Arts Education Department Choir Hall at 12:30 on Friday, 17 December 2021. The group, which started their practices in 2021, met with EMU faculty members and students with a chamber music concert given in the department where artistic activities could not be held for a long time due to the pandemic. The artists performed the works of C. Schumann and A. Piazzolla at the concert.
