The nonprofit organization World Music Institute (WMI) has announced that the Kurdish artist Aynur will perform on November 2, 2025, at the Symphony Space in New York City, United States.

“WMI proudly co-presented the NYC debut of Aynur in 2018 along with the School of Jazz at the New School, and we’re thrilled to welcome her back,” the organization said.

The WMI said that Aynur’s career has featured collaborations with internationally acclaimed musicians, such as Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, Maestro Riccardo Muti, Kayhan Kalhor, Javier Limon, and Kinan Azmeh, who joined her on stage at the 2018 show.

Furthermore, the WMI noted that Aynur is deeply committed to preserving Kurdish and Alevi musical traditions and merging them with contemporary Western styles.

Aynur rose to fame for performing the traditional Kurdish song Kece Kurdan (Kurdish Girl) on the album of the same name released in 2014. She has also performed in the Kurdistan Region, including in Soran and in Zakho last May.
