Interfaith Concert, taking place at Essex Church, Kensington (Notting Hill Gate) on Sunday 17 December:

Rumi’s ‘Nuptial Night’ – interfaith concert
Sunday 17 December 2006 6:30-8:30pm
At the death of the great Sufi poet and sage Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, Muslims, Jews, and Christians all joined the funeral.

This date on 17th December is traditionally celebrated as Mevlana Rumi’s ‘nuptial night’ when he finally joined in union with the Beloved.
With this inspiration for our times, we have brought together musicians from the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian faiths.
Taraweeh (‘refreshment of the soul’) led by master ney player Louai Alhenawi perform passionate Sufi music.
Vivi Lachs leads her fellow musicians with songs from the Yiddish tradition, including mystical lyrics and joyous wedding music.
Jennifer Hazel sings music from the Christian tradition and contemporary settings of Rumi.

The programme includes readings from Rumi in English and Persian.
