You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Cultural event held in Istanbul, Turkey))
The '''Istanbul International Music Festival''', formerly '''Istanbul Festival''', (((lang-tr|'''Uluslararası İstanbul Müzik Festivali'''))) is a cultural event held every June and July in [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]].<ref name="wg"/> It offers a selection of [[European classical music]], [[ballet]], [[opera]] and [[traditional music]] performances with the participations of famous artists from all over the world. The festival was first held in 1973 and is organized by the Istanbul Foundation of Culture and Arts.<ref name="iv"/> In 2006, [[Borusan|Borusan Holding]] took over its main sponsorship from [[Eczacıbaşı|Eczacıbaşı Holding]].<ref name="m1"/><ref name="aa1"/>

The festival was the idea of the late Turkish businessman Dr. [[Nejat Eczacıbaşı]]. The first Istanbul Festival was held from June 15 to July 15, 1973, on the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the [[Republic of Turkey]]. From its first inception, the Istanbul Festival has aimed at including in its programs the finest examples of artistic creativity in all disciplines of art from both Turkey and abroad, as well as seminars, conferences and lectures. So, other festivals dedicated to [[film]] (1984), [[jazz]] (1986), [[contemporary art]] (1987) and [[theater]] (1989) were added to the program of Istanbul Festival. From 1994 on, the name was changed to Istanbul International Music Festival to distinguish it from the other sister festivals. It is accredited as a member of [[European Festivals Association]] since 1977.<ref name="efa"/> In 2014, a project title "Istanbul Music Festival Seeks Its Young Soloist" (((lang-tr|İstanbul Müzik Festivali Genç Solistini Arıyor))) was started to promote talented young musicians.<ref name="r1"/>

From its beginning, the festival hosted world-renowned artists and groups from [[La Scala|La Scala Philharmonic]] ([[Riccardo Muti]]), [[New York Philharmonic]] ([[Kurt Masur]] and [[Zubin Mehta]]), [[Berlin Philharmonic]] to [[Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra]] ([[Wolfgang Sawallisch]]), [[Dresden Staatskapelle]] and the soloists, orchestra and chorus of the [[Mariinsky Theatre]] ([[Kirov Opera]]), from [[Orpheus Chamber Orchestra]] ([[Gidon Kremer]])<ref name="iv"/> to [[Scottish Chamber Orchestra]] ([[Charles Mackerras]] and [[Richard Hickox]]), from [[Tokyo String Quartet]] to [[Hilliard Ensemble]], from [[Aldo Ciccolini]] to [[Ivo Pogorelich]], from [[Yehudi Menuhin]] to [[Itzhak Perlman]], from [[Julian Lloyd Webber]] to [[Mischa Maisky]], from [[Narciso Yepes]] to [[Christopher Parkening]], from [[Leyla Gencer]] to [[Montserrat Caballé]] and [[Elisabeth Schwarzkopf]], from [[Bolshoi Ballet]] to [[American Ballet Theatre]] and to [[Mark Morris (choreographer)|Mark Morris]], [[Mehmet Sander]], [[Kibbutz dance companies]]; and such traditional music groups as [[Istanbul Oriental Ensemble]] of [[Burhan Öçal]], [[Kudsi Ergüner]]’s Tac Mahal project and [[Whirling Dervishes]]. The 31st festival saw the prominent conductor [[Lorin Maazel]] with the [[Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra]] and a legend of the music world, [[Cecilia Bartoli]], who received an enthusiastic standing ovation from the audience for several minutes.

The festival venues include [[Galata Mevlevihanesi]], [[Istanbul University]] Rectorate Building, [[Istanbul Modern]] and [[Silahtarağa Power Station#The Energy Museum at Santralİstanbul|Santralistanbul Energy Museum]], [[Zorlu Center PSM]] and [[Boğaziçi University]] Albert Long Hall in addition the [[Hagia Irene|Hagia Eirene Museum]], [[Istanbul Archaeology Museums|Archaeological Museum]], [[Tiled Kiosk]], [[Süreyya Opera House]] and [[Istanbul Lütfi Kırdar Convention and Exhibition Center|Lütfi Kırdar Convention and Exhibition Center]].<ref name="iv"/><ref name="m1"/><ref name="aa1"/>

According to a famed international musicologist, the Festival bridges cultural and religious divisions.<ref name="g"/>
