At the age of 16 she graduated with the Premier Prix de Piano. She continued her studies with Bernhard Ebert at the Musikhochschule Hannover.

An exceptional Chopin interpreter, Gülsin Onay was in 2007 honoured with the award of a State Medal by the Polish nation.
She is also acknowledged worldwide as the finest interpreter of the music of Ahmed Adnan Saygun, whose works feature prominently in her concerts and recordings, and whose 2nd Piano Concerto (which she has premiered in Turkey and abroad) was dedicated to her.

“An exceptional pianist, endowed with virtuosic brilliance and boundless energy, and an interpretive power both intelligent and emotionally sensitive”, Gülsin Onay has recorded 20 albums that illustrate the breadth of her repertoire as well as her interpretive power.
Her 2007 CD featuring live concert recordings of Tchaikovsky’s 1st and Rachmaninov’s 3rd Piano Concerto, has been acclaimed by critics and virtuosi alike. In 2008 CPO released her recording of both Saygun concertos with the Bilkent Symphony Orchestra and Howard Griffiths, to widespread critical acclaim.
Most recently, the American label VAI has released a live DVD of her performances of the Grieg Concerto and the Saint-Saëns 2nd Concerto, to be followed in early 2011 by the first of two live recital DVDs, featuring her critically acclaimed performances from the Miami International Piano Festival.

A Virginia native, Heather has a strong love for the traditional country music that she first heard from the Carter Family. Thusly, she learned to play an arch top guitar accompanying herself in a Maybelle Carter-esque manner. The simplicity of which, combined with her song-bird singing is truly unparalled.
HEATHER BERRY & TONY MABE
“Jamie and I saw Heather for the first time at the Country Music Hall of Fame for the induction of Tom T. Hall”, states Darin Vincent. “She amazed all of us with her powerful vocal performance & Mother Mabelle Carter style guitar. I remember goose bumps all over my arms and I found it hard to breath listening to that performance”. That appearance came with an invitation from Dailey & Vincent to join them the next summer in Nashville, Tennessee for Bluegrass Nights at the Ryman, where Heather brought a sold-out audience to their feet with her haunting performance of Tom T. Hall’s “Can You Hear Me Now”.
HEATHER BERRY
Tony Mabe, also an accomplished musician on several instruments including both clawhammer and Scruggs style banjo, guitar, mandolin and autoharp, is the perfect complement to Heather both on an off stage; the two have been married for nearly six years. One without the other is beautiful enough but combined, the two are musical perfection. The Heather Berry & Tony Mabe Show has unassumingly evoked emotions among their listeners and delightfully captivated many faithful followers. Mountain Fever Records will release new music from this duo in January.
Please enjoy this Christmas offering now while you wait.

Le problème que les sociétés occidentales font face au niveau des emplois: Tout est régi. Tout doit être “sous contrôle”
légalisé, payé… L’initiative “spontannée” est bannie.
Voici comment dans les autres pays, les gens “se débrouillent” pour vivre, pour se faire quelques rentrées financières. modestes, certes mais au moins, ils ont la liberté et l’esprit de création infini
En egypte, à cause d’un problème de canalisation relativement important, de nombreux citoyens étaient bloqués d’un côté de la route.
Eh bien, un citoyen, costaud et réactif , s’est porté volontaire, contre “paiement”. Il transporte ceux qui le demandent, d’un bord à l’autre pour quelques cents ( piastres egyptiennes)
Bravo à ce citoyen réactif et entrepreneur.
