A Midsummer Night’s Recital: Ney & Bendir
July 27 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
£5
Yunus Emre Institute London is proud to present “A Midsummer Night’s Recital: Ney” featuring Murat Ferhat Yegül, a renowned Ney player, and Sufi musician Khaled Hakim on the Bendir /Daf. This unique musical event promises to be a feast for the senses and will take place on the 27th of July 2024, starting at 6 PM.
The recital will feature the Ney, a traditional instrument that is the heart and soul of Sufi music. The Ney’s hauntingly beautiful sound has the power to transport listeners to another realm, making them feel as if they are on a spiritual journey.
Murat Ferhat Yegül’s deep understanding of the Ney and his ability to bring out its rich, melodic tones make his performances a must-see for any music lover. The performance will begin with a Ney Taksim, a traditional solo improvisation that sets the mood for the Mevlevi Ayin, a Sufi ceremony. This will be followed by a selection of pieces that showcase Ney’s versatility and the depth of Sufi music. Khaled Hakim will accompany on the Bendir, adding a rhythmic layer to the melodic flow of the Ney.
This midsummer night’s dream will be like a voyage in Sufi waters, offering music that is as dreamlike as it is profound. It’s an opportunity to experience Ney’s unique ability to touch the soul and transport the listener to a state of spiritual ecstasy.
For those interested, there will also be a Ney workshop with Murat Ferhat Yegül on the same day. This event is free for our current music course students and those who participate in the Ney Workshop. For more information and registration on the Ney Workshop, please click here.

We look forward to welcoming you to this special event and sharing the magic of the Ney with you.
