Rumi Event NYC
In celebration of the 800th anniversary of the legacy of Sufi Mystic, Poet and Scholar Mevlana Jelalludin Rumi, UNESCO has declared 2007 ?The International Year of Rumi?. We are pleased to announce an event honoring Rumi and Sufism. The celebration will feature, from Turkey, Sheikh Ishmael Cimen, an accomplished musician and chanter of Rumi for over 30 years. The evening will take place in a traditional Sufi dergah or meeting place and is intended to be an intimate experience of Rumi and a Sufi Order, not a concert. In addition to sharing music and Illahis (mystic hymns), Sheikh Ishmael, a Sufi for over 32 years, brings a vast knowledge of Rumi to share.
