A Musical Celebration of Rumi this Sunday 7pm


6th Boston Turkish Film & Music Festival

invites you to


-- CONCERT--

SEHER: SUFI MUSIC FROM TURKEY & INDIA
A CELEBRATION OF RUMI

Deepak Ram & Neva Ozgen Ensemble

Two great musical traditions from Turkey and India meld their sources in celebrating 800th birthday and Unesco's International Rumi Year.


Neva Ozgen, kemence
Deepak Ram, bansuri
Diana Rowan, harp
Tupac Mantilla, percussion


Neva ?zgen, daughter of highly respected Turkish classical musician Ihsan Ozgen, and one of the few female masters of the Turkish kemence (fiddle) from Istanbul, draws upon the Sufi repertoire inspired by the poet Rumi and recites his evocative poetry. Bansuri flutist Deepak Ram, a senior disciple of the great Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, joins her along with Diana Rowan on troubadour harp and Tupac Mantilla on percussion.

The music of this quartet explores the sonic relationship of four instruments, while attempting to be faithful to the aesthetics of Raga and Makam. The philosophy of improvisation inherent in Indian and Turkish classical music, which is generated by Raga and Makam, has inspired the composition and performance style of this group.
