Arsu Sahne, which accepts submissions from home and abroad and has won the recognition of youth, comes with spring concerts in the fourth season. New star soloists, bands and surprise figures take their place in these concerts, which will continue for two months.

It has hosted many young stars together with various master artists, such as Ayşegül Sarıca, Jerfi Aji, Metin Ülkü, Eun Young Kim, Ivan Yanakov and Toros Can, to date. Besides, the mini-conversations that are held after concerts attract attention of students and families. These conversations provide an environment where listeners can ask questions, share the difficulties that can be confronted in art education and get inspiration.
