As part of the DenizBank Concerts, the State Polyphonic Choir will host the "West-Eastern Divan – Goethe and Rumi" concert, inspired by the intellectual heritage of Goethe and Rumi, at the CSO Ada Ankara Historical Hall.
CSO Ada Ankara, the capital's culture and arts island, is preparing for a special concert that brings together the literary and philosophical accumulations of East and West through the universal language of music. Organized within the scope of DenizBank Concerts, the event will take place on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 20.00 at the Historical Hall.
Conducted by Conductor Georg Grün, the State Polyphonic Choir will be accompanied by Gülce Sevgen on the piano and Süleyman Yardım on the ney. Works by Brahms, Theofanidis, and Turgay Erdener will be performed within the scope of the program.
One of the most striking parts of the concert will be the "Neynâme" musical dialogue, prepared by composer Turgay Erdener based on the first 18 couplets of Rumi's Masnavi.
