“Enchanting the audience with songs in French and Spanish”

Costa Rican-born Austrian musician Phoebe Violet took the stage in Şanlıurfa, performing songs in French and Spanish from her new album “Suspiros”. Her performance received great appreciation from the audience.

The concert, organized by the Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality, was held at the historic Kemalettin Gazezoğlu Culture and Arts Center.
In his remarks, Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Mayor Mehmet Kasım Gülpınar reminded that the city holds the UNESCO Creative Cities Network title of City of Music:
“Şanlıurfa is officially recognized by UNESCO as a City of Music. We want to be a city that not only carries this title but also fulfills its meaning. In October 2026, Şanlıurfa will host the World Music Cities Meeting. UNESCO has certain prerequisites and requirements, and this concert is one of them. Thanks to our cooperation with Austria, we will organize many international events in the future. At the end of October, we will also hold an Urfa-themed event in Austria.”
