World-renowned Kazakh cellist Bagjan Oktyabr is kicking off his 2026 world tour with his mesmerizing project “Soul Therapy” right here in Türkiye! With the melancholic yet deeply hopeful tones of his cello, the artist takes audiences on a mystical journey and will meet his fans across Anatolia this spring.
“Soul Therapy” is more than just a concert; it is a multi-layered performance project that spans from classical music to global hits, from local motifs to iconic pieces of popular culture.
The Magic of Turkish Series
The artist brings to the stage his own unique cello arrangements of iconic theme songs and emotional melodies from Turkish series that hold a special place in the hearts of Turkish audiences—most notably Kara Sevda (Endless Love).
Renewed Repertoire
The 2026 tour promises brand-new arrangements, modern touches, and a grand stage production accompanied by a chamber orchestra.
Bagjan Oktyabr’s concerts are known not only for their high artistic quality but also for the intimate and emotional connection he establishes with his audience. An unmissable experience for both classical music lovers and those seeking a fresh take on popular melodies.
