Nazli E. Sendurgut
Nazli E. Sendurgut completed her Bachelor and Master of Music Studies (performance) degree in 2015 at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

Nazli also took part in an orchestral event to raise funds for the 2019-20 Australian bushfires.
From the churches of New Zealand to the slums of Bogotá Colombia, Nazli has performed in amazing places like the Sydney Opera House and other beautiful venues across Australia. She has also performed in the Wiener Kammeroper in Vienna as well as concert halls in the Czech Republic and Italy where she took part in lessons and masterclasses.
Nazli works as a freelance cellist and plays on a modern Italian Stefano Marzi cello. She performs regularly with Ensemble Twelve88 and Willoughby Symphony. Her schedule also includes teaching cello, playing in orchestras across Sydney, performing on cruise ships, and performing solo and chamber music at functions and events.
