The first Turkish musicians who chose composing as a profession were called "The Turkish Five". These composers, listed by their date of birth, were: Cemal Resit Rey, Hasan Ferit Alnar, Ulvi Cemal Erkin, Ahmet Adnan Saygun and Necil Kazim Akses. These composers squeezed the 500 year music culture of Western music into 30-40 years and made important contributions to Turkish contemporary music. The Turkish five went abroad for education and brought their educational and musical culture heritage back to Turkey. Of Turkish Five, Cemal Resit Rey, Ulvi Cemal Erkin and Ahmet Adnan Saygun studied in France. In this paper, the years that Ahmed Adnan Saygun, Cemal Resit Rey and Ulvi Cemal Erkin spent in France were examined with a historical description, and an effort was made to reflect this period. The education they received with intercultural interaction and the contributions of this education to the Turkish Music culture were described.
