Ahter Destan

“Ahter Destan is a very talented and important conductor. I had a privilege of observing her work in 2004 when I served on the jury of the international Bartok competition. At the time we awarded her a special prize as the best foreign conductor — she absolutely stood out from among a group of candidates.”

“Ahter Destan is an accomplished choral conductor and an ever-searching type of pedagogue. Her artistic life can be characterized by two words: uncompromising and as well creative. She is a born lieder, her choirs always perform to the highest musical level yet she is always modest and searching for better solutions.”

“The excellent work of Ms. Destan with different ensembles is the best testimony of her skills and professionalism as a committed musician, pedagogue and conductor. The many international Prizes and Awards she has obtained in the last years are also a recognition to her artistry.”
