Bio
DYRGHÉ
crossover between many lines
Dirge Seçil Kuran is a classical and contemporary percussionist from Istanbul, Turkey, now based in the Netherlands. Alongside her work with renowned Dutch theatre companies and ensembles like Club Guy&Roni, HIIIT, and Filiaal Theatermakers, she expands her career through her personal project: Dyrghé.
She studied in a conservatory from the age of eleven until twenty-one. Her stage experience includes events such as BBC Proms and Hong Kong Classical Music Festival with various orchestras, as well as performing contemporary percussion pieces with danceable electronics at Radialsystem Berlin. With her experience in classical/contemporary music, a wide musical taste -spanning from gloom of My Dying Bride to innovation of Bugge Wesseltoft— and her interest in crossover scenes drove her to move to Netherlands.
As Dyrghé, she combines her eclectic inspirations with her rigorous background, colouring her sound with her own vocals. She channels a dark attitude and doesn’t hesitate to pour harsh observations into her lyrics. During live performances, Dyrghé embraces her multi-instrumentalism; like any percussionist, she challenges herself with every instrument she can touch, while delivering a mesmerising show.
