Sabahattin Kalender

Sabahattin Kalender (Taşlıca, Kosovo, 15 April 1919 - The Hague, 7 August 2012) was a Turkish composer. His works included the operas "Nasrettin Hoca (opera)" on the life of Nasreddin, "Karagöz Operada" and the oratorio "Ateş ve İnanç" ("Fire and Faith").
His father was a military officer who died in the First World War so Sabahattin was brought up in the Kalender Orphanage Istanbul from which he took his name.
