For centuries, the moving verses of the poet Rumi have entranced philosophers and artists from all over the world. This
Islamic mystic is revered both in America and abroad for his unique perspective on love and God. Now, the Rumi Symphony
Project is bringing his poetry, along with a blend of both traditional Persian music and Western music, to venues across
the country.
The Rumi Symphony Project bridges the gap between cultures by taking elements of traditional Persian music and infusing
it with more Western-style orchestration. Shahram Nazeri, dubbed "the Persian Nightingale" by the New York Times,
lends his beautiful vocals to the music accompanying this work. He's considered chiefly responsible for setting Rumi's poetry
to Persian music, then spreading that musical experience throughout the West.
Rumi Symphony Project tickets are no available! If you have read about Rumi,
or even flipped through some of his gorgeously written, meditative poetry, then you know how powerful his work can be. Now
is your chance to hear this poet's work set to music that crosses borders. Purchase yourself some classical
orchestral and instrumental tickets today and experience this for yourself!
