At the age of 20 with the fall of the regime he moved to Italy to continue to enrich his knowledge at the ‘G. Verdi’ Conservatory in Milan where he obtained his diploma cum laude and a mention of honour.
Prior to becoming concertmaster of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich in 2009, he served as violon solo of the National Orchestra of Lyon, and as concertmaster of the Zürich Chamber Orchestra, the Teatro alla Scala Orchestra and the Filarmonica della Scala.
Sahatci has performed as a soloist with orchestras such as the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai, Orchestre National de Lyon, Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, Orquesta Sinfonica de Chile, Cameristi della Scala, Albanian TV-Radio Symphony Orchestra, among others. As a passionate chamber musician Sahatci has played alongside artists such as Claire Désert, Bruno Giuranna, Bruno Canino, Roberto Prosseda, François-Frédéric Guy, Yuja Wang, and many others.
