If listening to music is like eating for the soul, Pek Nisa Göker has a lot
of it. This 8-year-old Turkish girl's astounding piano talents have music
fans all around the world spellbound. She can perform Mozart and Chopin
classical works as well as own compositions. Her creativity is all the more
impressive given that she is blind.
Her family in Kaş, a beach town in Antalya, Turkey, became aware of her
skill at a young age, and her mother posted recordings of her playing
online. The videos were originally published on YouTube in September 2021
and Instagram in April 2021. She has more than 95,500 followers on Instagram
and more than 8,500 subscribers on YouTube. The entries include videos of
Göker performing Handel's "Sarabande" and Chopin's Spring Waltz by French
composer Paul de Senneville.
Furthermore, Göker writes her own music. In several Instagram postings, her
mother gave explanations of the sources of the titles and original music. On
January 29, 2022, Göker played the piano for "Mr. Loran," a new musical
composition about a little child who fantasizes about flying on bird
wings.
In a video that was published on July 13, 2022, Göker performed another
challenging original composition. Her daughter asked her mother if she may
play the piano instead of sleeping in the middle of the night. I got
permission to take a picture. It was my idea to write this piece. Its name
was "Dream."
Her mother demonstrated how she learnt to play the challenging piano pieces
without the ability to read music sheets in an emotional video that was
uploaded on May 13, 2022.
The complete video is available at the conclusion of this piece.
The theme tune from the "Game of Thrones" opening credits was being
performed by Göker's mother. Göker's performance of the song after hearing
it made her mother sob.
Her mother added that she attempts to play the notes one at a time after
first writing down the ones she hears in her brain. She retains everything
she hears.
Her extraordinary skill has caught the attention of Turkish music fans, and
she has received invitations to sing at prestigious places including
Istanbul's Maximum Uniq auditorium and other venues, in addition to
appearing on television.
As she revealed that Göker will soon release an album of her own works, she
also included a video of her daughter lighting up the sound booth during a
recording session.
Göker, one of a set of triplets, celebrated her eighth birthday on May 20,
2022, with movies and pictures of her family taking pleasure in everyday
activities.
In one moving post, Göker dances with her father to a recording of the song
"Flowers of my heart," which she composed especially for him.
Her videos have become popular online due to her talent at such a young
age.
"This is as smooth and wonderfully performed as I have ever heard it," an
admirer tweeted. Not merely error-free notes, but also flawless pitch and
rhythm. use just her little hands.
She is quite skilled, an another Instagram user said. God be with
her.
We are really glad to see Göker's ability being developed by her family and
being appreciated by thousands of people, and we wish her many more joyful
days playing the piano.
