“Our young artists will represent us worldwide”
Expressing his satisfaction with the international achievements, Anadolu University Rector Prof. Dr. Fuat Erdal shared his views on the subject, saying:
“Anadolu University State Conservatory is one of the first established conservatories. We are a university where full-fledged art education is provided and experienced from a very young age to the final year of university, and where art is always at the forefront with all our cultural activities. This is also a source of pride for us. The field of music and art is a difficult one compared to other social sciences. Our university is one of the most established institutions in our country in the field of art education, as in the scientific field. It is quite difficult to measure the value of labor in these fields. However, the valuable academicians and students of our university and conservatory continue to increase their successes every year and contribute to pride that reinforces our vision of internationalization. It is a pride for us that our young artists are admitted to the most prestigious art education schools in the world. Our students will represent our country successfully all around the world. I sincerely congratulate them, their families, and their teachers.”
