Skopje to host 'Bir Söz Bir Nefes' event

A new event aimed at contributing to cultural and artistic life in Skopje is being prepared to meet art lovers under the title 'Bir Söz Bir Nefes'. The special programme will be held in cooperation between the Yeni Yol Kültür Güzel Sanatlar Derneği, the Yunus Emre Institute Skopje and Harmonius Koor, on Monday, 26 October 2026, at 19:30 at the Albanian Theatre in Skopje.

The programme will bring together the words and philosophy of Anatolian poets and mystics, including Yunus Emre, Âşık Veysel, Mevlana and Dadaloğlu, with music. Moving from Anatolian minstrels to the breath of the semah, Harmonius Koor and guest artists will take the stage, presenting the harmony of word, music and semah to audiences. The event aims to keep Anatolia's deep cultural heritage and melodies alive together in Skopje.
