Life
Mansur Bildik received his first Saz lessons from his father. Because of the poor economic situation of the family and because Bildik lost his father at the age of 12, he could not continue studying the instrument, but continued to occupy himself intensively with music.
In 1965 Bildik received his first systematic music lessons in the Saz game in the Halkevi from Adana . His teacher Ahmet Aydin recommended him to his colleague in Istanbul for further training . In the early 1970s he worked with the Saz players of the TRT in Izmir and was able to expand his repertoire. From 1976 to 1980 he performed in western European cities from Austria to England and in the 1990s also in Poland and the Czech Republic . Bildik has lived in Vienna since 1980. In 1984 he began to teach Saz at the Franz Schubert Conservatory . In order to discover possible points of contact between western and eastern music, he also dealt with piano and harmonics .
Bildik gave numerous radio and television appearances and concerts and was invited to festivals, seminars and conferences as a saz virtuoso and expert. From 1990 he taught in adult education centers in order to promote the awareness of the instrument.
In the summer of 1993, Bildik founded the Saz Association Vienna together with Turkish and Austrian musicians in order to draw the attention of a wider public to his instrument.
