12th European Suzuki Children’s Convention, Istanbul, Türkiye 2026

I feel very honoured and privileged to be part of the organisation team for the 12th European Suzuki Children’s Convention in Istanbul. Being a Suzuki child, father and teacher, I feel so much gratitude towards Dr Shinichi Suzuki – his approach in bringing music to young children is still growing and building bridges around the world, between children, parents and teachers: “The Golden Triangle.” What a wonderful way to explore and educate our talents!

I would love to welcome you in Istanbul next Spring. You will meet new and old friends and further develop your instrumental and musical skills. Most of all, playing music with children and teachers from all over Europe will help us to work on, and understand better, Dr Suzuki‘s heritage.

Beautiful tone, beautiful heart! I hope to see you there.
