Ecstasy: Between Two Seas
Sami Yusuf Live in Istanbul – August 23, 2025 | Yenikapı
After years away, one of the most unique voices in the world music tradition, Sami Yusuf, is set to reunite with his audience in Istanbul.
On August 23, 2025, the long-anticipated wait comes to an end with a mesmerizing concert at Yenikapı, marking not just a return but a major musical milestone: the world premiere of pieces from his much-awaited new album, Ecstasy—performed live for the very first time.
This debut is taking place in the city that has always inspired him and holds a special place in his heart: Istanbul.
“In Istanbul, between two seas; we host a magical convergence of cultures, hearts, and sounds.”
Specially created for Istanbul, the concept “Ecstasy: Between Two Seas” elegantly contrasts the traditional and the contemporary—elements rooted in Sami Yusuf’s unique musical vision.
This exceptional night is a celebration of love for Istanbul, for Türkiye, and the wider Turkic world. It shines a light on the Turkish civilization's and art's contributions to global culture. The concert will beautifully echo the legacy of Turkish classical music and the Turkish language. The powerful verses of Nesimi and Yunus Emre will guide the evening, as Turkish maqams and the soul of Anatolia rise to the skies.
A large ensemble of artists will accompany this performance, and every detail—from stage design to lighting, costumes to projections—will reflect the historical and cultural spirit of Istanbul.
At the helm of this entire journey is Sami Yusuf himself, not only as the performer but also as the composer and artistic director, shaping the soul of the concert and turning the stage into a multidimensional experience.
Join us for a night where music, cultures, and souls unite—witness the first breath of Ecstasy in Istanbul.
