MaZeli Quartett is an ensemble that reinterprets deeply rooted Kurdish and Armenian musical traditions through a contemporary chamber-like formation. The quartet brings together violin, percussion, bass, piano, and voice to create a sound that is both intimate and expansive. The group’s Korsi-linked Newroz performance featured Nure Dilovani on violin, Nurullah Turgut on percussion, Merdan Zirav on bass, and Zelal on piano and vocals.

Their music carries the emotional resonance of regional traditions while opening them into new arrangements and shared listening spaces. In the context of Korsi, MaZeli Quartett embodies the possibility of cultural memory as a living practice: music that honors lineage while inviting collective presence, renewal, and celebration.
