Hello,
The following event may be of interest to you:
Rumi Night: Evening of Mystical Music and Poetry
Wednesday, November 7, 2007
Steve Gorn, flute;
John de Kadt, percussion;
and Peter Rogen, reading poetry.
This program is an intimate opportunity to hear Rumi's poetry accompanied by the spontaneous playing of two world-respected
musicians - banchuri flutist Steve Gorn and percussionist John de Kadt. In
this casual format, one often hears the poetry and music as if for
the first time - always receiving waves of impressions of new and deeper
levels within Rumi's work.
Jalaluddin Rumi is the remarkable 13th century Sufi mystical poet, born in
Afghanistan, who lived most of his life in what is now Turkey.
A blending of profound spirit, philosophy and intellect with an
extraordinary literary talent distinguishes Rumi as one of the world's great
poet-saint-geniuses. In celebration of his 800th anniversary, UNESCO has named 2007 International Year of Rumi.
There is a brief introduction at the beginning about Rumi and
his work. Whole program runs about 90 minutes
and questions are welcome at the end.
Time: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Location: Campus Center, Multipurpose Room
Sponsor: Religion Program; Arabic Studies Program; New York Dialogue Foundation
Contact: Ismail Acar, Kristin Scheible.
