Mahsus Mahal Ruhi Su’ya Saygı Konseri

About this event

Mahsus Mahal, a tribute to Ruhi Su, comes to the Ahmed Adnan Saygun Arts Centre on Tuesday 17 November 2026 at 20:00, organised by the Izmir business of the Çağdaş Yaşamı Destekleme Derneği, the Association for Supporting Contemporary Life. Güvenç Dağüstün, Eylem Pelit and Derya Alabora share the stage. The organisers describe it not as a classic memorial concert or a selection of repertoire but as a narrated music and memory work, designed to rethink the voice, words and stance of Ruhi Su on the stage of today. The narrative prepared by Güvenç Dağüstün draws on contributions from Ilgın Su, the son of Ruhi Su, on the book Bir de Ruhi Su Geçti by Füsun Akatlı, on accounts passed on by Zeynep Altıok Akatlı and on testimonies gathered over the years. All arrangements are by Eylem Pelit, and every instrumental sound heard on stage is shaped on the bass guitar, at times joined by pre-recorded multi-layered bass and vocal tracks. Derya Alabora narrates on an equal footing with the music, so that the piece sits between a concert and a documentary narrative, and the visual design is by Emel Keleşoğlu. Tickets are sold on Bubilet, listed from 1000 Turkish lira.
