| Summary: | Amasya is a city that has made many cultural contributions to Islamic civilization throughout history. One of these contributions concerns Turkish Religious Music. In Amasya, both musical associations and religious educational institutions have historically played an important role in the musical tradition in Turkey. Two particularly noteworthy institutions which have served this purpose in the Republican period are the Musical Association of Amasya and the Büyükağa Madrasa of Qur’an Memorization. Especially over the last thirty years the projects carried out by these two institutions, working in concert, stand out for the contributions they have made to Turkish Music generally, to Turkish Religious Music in particular and to the city of Amasya. Today, the Musical Association of Amasya operates under the name of the Amasya Municipality Conservatory. This article as a music deals with work, contributions, and backgrounds of these institutions.
