Three years after the earthquakes in southern Turkey

Three years after the earthquakes in southern Turkey

Benefit concert

Friday, 6 February 2026, from 7:00 PM

-

Dominicuskerk, Amsterdam

Amanos Foundation invites you to come together to remember and to look toward the future. Exactly three years after the earthquakes in southern Turkey, the phase of acute emergency aid has passed, but the need for long-term reconstruction has only grown. All proceeds from the evening will go toward the Mother and Child House we are establishing in Samandağ, Turkey.

The Göksel Yilmaz Ensemble will perform a repertoire of Turkish, Arabic, and Kurdish music influenced by Western styles such as jazz, blues, and classical music. Through their performances, they invite listeners on a musical journey through life; from longing to rebellion, from sorrow and melancholy to intense love and joy.

We will also reflect on the past three years with several speakers and look ahead to how we can provide lasting and positive support to affected local communities.
