Sibafest: Sofra trio
”Sofra” is a shared table of melodies and stories that bridge the regions of Syria, Turkey and Kosovo.
Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
We are Melisa, Merve and Hadi —a trio dedicated to building a musical ”Sofra”, a shared table of melodies and stories that bridge the regions of Syria, Turkey and Kosovo. In Arabic, Turkish, and many Balkan languages, sofra refers to a dining table, symbolizing hospitality, togetherness, and the sharing of culture.
Our project explores the rich musical heritage of these lands, focusing on their melodies and the historical and cultural intersections between them. Through this work, we aim to celebrate and preserve shared traditions while creating a space for dialogue, unity and joy.
Artists
- Melisa Yıldırım, voice & kamancha
- Merve Abdurrahmani, voice & piano
- Hadi Hrekes, voice & percussion
Changes are possible.
