First examples of women's music in the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Harem sections of palaces and mansions. The wives of the sultans, sisters, concubines, women masters, who took lessons from Enderun's teachers, received a very serious musical education as well as other trainings. Although their names are not known as much as men, they have represented a wide range of musical art from past to present. Although there are some descriptive documents about women and their music until the 14th century. The relationship between women and music in the 14th century and after is clearly seen in miniatures. 17th century when we look at their miniatures, we see women playing instruments such as qanun and tanbur. Women are depicted in miniatures, but their names are unknown from the conservative view of society. Turkish music women's ensembles, which constitute our subject, also performed musical activities in indoor places such as harem and mansion and outdoor entertainment venues in the Ottoman Empire. The tradition of music that women from the Ottoman to the Republic collectively made continues these days. Founded in 2005 by the faculty members, graduates and students of the Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory with their own free will and an academic point of view, all members of the Âvâze Turkish Music Women's Ensemble have undergone a strict musical education like the instrumentalists of the Ottoman palace. Women in Harem-i Hümâyun, which has a special place for musicians, singers, female instruments groups, composers, came together to emphasize the importance of Turkish music and to reflect the common sense and understanding of art they acquired on their music. From this point of view, our study presents an evaluation of the work of the Turkish Music Women's Ensemble “Âvâze”, which has left behind its 16th year as an academic women's music ensemble in the 21st century Turkey and continues its struggle to survive under all conditions. Thus, the main purpose of the research is to evaluate the representation of the Turkish Music Women's Ensemble, one of the rare representatives of women's movements in music, which became visible with the social change that emerged with modernization and urbanization, in terms of the history of Turkish music.
