Buğra Can’s EPCC Internship with Tenso CONNECT

Hello everyone,

This is Buğra Can Öğüt from the Turkish State Choir (Devlet Çoksesli Korosu). I completed my internship program with EPCC, where I had the opportunity to perform in Handel’s Harmoniemesse and Mozart’s Vesperae Solennes de Confessore. It was a valuable and enriching experience for me. Both artistically and technically, I gained insights that I am now incorporating into my own professional practice.

Esper was exceptionally attentive and welcoming throughout the program. He gave us a tour of the Arvo Pärt Centre and was always accessible whenever we needed guidance or support. The environment EPCC provided, both musically and personally, allowed me to grow, reflect, and broaden my artistic perspective.

Participating in this internship in Estonia helped me deepen my choral musicianship, refine my ensemble awareness, and experience a different artistic culture from within. I am grateful for the opportunity and highly recommend the program to young musicians seeking serious artistic development.
