As part of the Mehmet Akif Ersoy Week events, the theatrical folk dance performance prepared by the academics and students of Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAKÜ) Turkish Music State Conservatory received great appreciation from the audience.

The program, held at the MAKÜ Conference and Exhibition Hall and consisting of two parts, was realized with the intense participation of art lovers. In the first part of the program, the first composed version of the National Anthem and musical works composed from Mehmet Akif Ersoy's work Safahat were performed. Accompanied by words and melodies reflecting the spirit of the national struggle, the audience witnessed the emotional world of the period.
