Kanun virtuoso Hakan Güngör will perform the world premiere of "Dao of Water" by Enjott Schneider, commissioned by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, with Yangqin virtuoso Lee.

Hakan Güngör is considered a virtuoso on the Kanun (qanun) with his melodic style, vibrant and clear sonority, and tenderness of his mezrab (plectrum). He works as a lecturer for his instrument at the Haliç University, and at the Istanbul Radio House as a kanun player. He has been collaborating with world-known musicians such as Jordi Savall, Yo-Yo Ma, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Fazıl Say, Okay Temiz and Kudsi Erguner. With Kudsi Erguner’s ensemble, he worked with Robert Wilson and Carolyn Carlson for two different projects. Güngör has toured many countries with various ensembles and took part in the recording of CDs both in Turkey and Europe.
