The artist, who had great success with his "Rumi/Alchemist Symphonic Poem," will release an album, "My Green Color," in 2009. He has also been working for the Vienna Mahler Conservatory and the Performing Arts Studio of Vienna.
Sönmez, who will accompany Tırpan on violin, won the Best Boccherini Interpreter Award and is one of Natalia Gutman’s students. In 2007, Sönmez was among the young stars who performed in memorial concerts organized for Rostropovich’s 80th birthday.
