With a deep social responsibility consciousness, the Borusan Group established the Borusan Center for Culture & Arts on October 15, 1997. Today its activities are operated from its headquarters building at No. 213 Istiklal Caddesi, an architecturally charming edifice nestled in the heart of Beyoğlu, Istanbul’s prime culture and arts district.

The Borusan Center for Culture and Arts is a member of the International Society of Contemporary Music (ISCM) and the European Music Council (EMC) and organizes the annual Mediterranean Contemporary Music Days. It pursues its music activities through its prominent Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra, the Borusan Chamber Orchestra, the Borusan String Quartet and the Borusan Children’s Choir, as well as its Music Library.
