PANEL/PERFORMANCE- Sufism after Rumi - The Mevlevi Sufi Order, Oct. 28

Posted by: Ben Williams <bwilliams@hds.harvard.edu>

The Islam in the West Lecture Series is Proud to Present:

Sufism after Rumi: Past and Present in Turkey and the U.S.

Tuesday, October 28th

5:30-8:30 PM

The Mevlevi Sufi order played an important role for many centuries in
advocating for Islam in the West, where their poetry, music, and
whirling ceremony have always been a source of fascination.
Considering the fact that Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi is one of the best
selling poets in the U.S. and different groups of Mevlevis frequently
tour all around the world today, Mevlevism's influence continues to be
preeminent in the West. A panel of scholars discussing the current
role of Mevlevism begins the program, followed by a concert of Mevlevi
music by D.U.N.Y.A.
