A few years ago I went to Aya Sofya with a Turkish violinist friend who studiest at a conservatory here. Unexpectedly, up on the top floor, he pulled out his violin and started playing an Armenian/Azeri song called "Laz".

He made it through 3 glorious minutes before security escorted him out. The sound was unreal.

I would love to hear the same test done in the Basilica Cistern.

Do you have video?

My apologies, the song itself is called Lachin, not Laz.

(Not the Aya Sofya moment)

Sadly / happily, no. The moment was too special to record.
