Sufism is as entwined with Turkish society as it is to its music.  The emblematic instruments of Sufism (ney flute and tanbur lute) evoke the infinity of mystical love, the nostalgia for the loved Being and the wandering soul.  The human voice remains the central axis and is heard in sung poems  and praise to the divine.  This programme brings together renowned artists and presents spiritual music.
