Aynur, one of the most iconic and influential voices in contemporary Kurdish music, is coming to the Main Hall with her band! For over 25 years, Aynur has connected her Kurdish musical roots with a wide spectrum of modern sounds. She’s worked with partners from many diverse musical paths including maestro Riccardo Muti, the Nederlands Blazers Ensemble and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. The latter summed up Aynur’s talents beautifully: 'To hear Aynur’s voice is to hear the transformation of all the layers of human joy and suffering into one sound. It reaches so deep into our soul, tears into our hearts and then we are, for one moment, joined as one. It is unforgettable.' Unforgettable... so don’t miss it!

Aynur

Aynur has collaborated with world-renowned musicians and ensembles, including Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, Maestro Riccardo Muti, Kayhan Kalhor, Javier Limón, Kinan Azmeh, the Nederland Blazers Ensemble, and the NDR Big Band. These partnerships have expanded her artistic spectrum and elevated Kurdish music to a global platform. Her remarkable talent has also been featured in acclaimed films, including Fatih Akın’s Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul and Morgan Neville’s The Music of Strangers, which documents her journey with the Silk Road Ensemble.

Widespread acclaim

Her contributions have earned widespread acclaim, with features in prominent international media outlets like The Guardian, El Pais, and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, as well as covers of renowned world music magazines like Songlines Magazine and fRoots. Aynur’s dedication to preserving and innovating Kurdish and Alevi traditions has also been recognized with prestigious accolades, including the Master of

Mediterranean Music Award (2017) from Berklee Mediterranean Music Institute and the WOMEX Artist Award (2021). These awards honor her artistic integrity, resilience in the face of political pressure, and commitment to keeping Kurdish culture alive.
