*BIOGRAPHY
Mihriban Aviral, started her flute education in the State Conservatory of Ankara. While
successfully continuing her education, the artist has also started taking composition,
harmony and fugue classes from the State Artist Necil Kazım Akses, Prof. Nevit Kodallı and
Erçıvan Saydam.
Successfully graduating from both areas with great achievements, Mihriban Aviral has
passed the entry exam for the Presidential Symphony Orchestra at the top of her class and

She has attended several workshops for master class, perfection and concert soloism in
Austria-Salzburg Mozarteum Music Academy, Italy, Siena Chiggiana Music Academy and
Hungary-Budapest Music Academy. While continuing her classical music career, she gave
many chamber and solo concerts.
Mihriban Aviral has attended concert tours in USA, England, Germany, Switzerland, Russia,
Ukraine, Letonia, Estonia, Serbia, Croatia, Kazakhstan, Japan, Northern Cyprus, Italy, Poland,
Spain, and Greece.
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE ARTIST’S STYLE? WHY IS IT FIRST AND ONLY?
She performs a music that is very different from the standard Jazz music band style – every
instrument taking turn for an equal amount of time for their solo parts. As if she is playing a
concerto, from the beginning to the end, she undertakes all the difficulties and
responsibilities of the music and performs an uninterupted and intense solo performance.
Therefore, she has made this field a “first in Turkey” and received many honorable criticisms
by world-famous and important authorities.
