Istanbul Jazz Festival undertakes a special concert where the uniting power of music will be felt once again on this closing night. Having performed the day before at the festival, Basel Rajoub’s band of Sorina will be joined by Sirojiddin Juraev and Syrian Women Chorus, founded by Syrian women who took asylum in Turkey, with the support of Human Resource Development Foundation (İKGV). Both the artists on stage and the audience will form a colourful and multi-vocal cultural mosaic in the concert where Syrian culture and music will be celebrated. Prior to the concert, a conversation will be held about immigration and music.
