We are excited to invite you for a night of Turkish music with musicians from the Grand Union Orchestra and the Hasret School. 

The evening will delve into the heart of tradition and heritage with the evocative melodies of Turkish folk music in 'The Long and Narrow Road,' a show inspired by the timeless poetry of Aşık Veysel, who's poetry and music reflect the emotional and rich cultural heritage of Anatolian folk traditions, often exploring the complexities of rural life and the beauty of the natural world, imbued with a sense of melancholy and introspection.

Experience the evocative tunes of the bağlama and rhythmic beats, and join us for a night that celebrates the vibrant musical legacy of Anatolian Alevi culture, connecting with the soul of Turkey.
