Sufi Night - Dübendorf

Event Details

Discover the Beauty of Authentic Turkish Music: The Magical World of Sufi Music

Sufi music offers a journey into the depths of the human soul, uniting different cultures and communities through its universal language. It is not merely a collection of melodies but a unifying force that brings people together with a message of tolerance and love. The soothing tones of the ney and the soul-enriching compositions of Sufi music promise an unforgettable experience for the audience.

Rooted in the deep traditions of Anatolia, this music bridges the past and the present, the East and the West, individuals and societies. Organized by the Zürich Türk Musîki Cemiyeti, this special afternoon is not just a concert but also a celebration of cultural richness and shared humanity.

The Origins and Importance of Mystical Music

Sufi music arises from humanity’s profound quest to understand itself and its surroundings. Inspired by the teachings of great Sufi thinkers like Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, this music serves as a powerful medium to unite hearts and transform conflicts through love. Instruments like the ney (reed flute) narrate the divine story of creation through breath, symbolizing not only music but also the soul’s journey toward truth.

These melodies speak a universal language that transcends differences. They remind us of our shared essence, without erasing who we are or where we come from, and guide us toward unity and harmony.

A Taste of Tradition

To enrich this afternoon of music and togetherness, authentic Turkish delight will be offered to all attendees from 15:00 until the concert begins at 15:30. This gesture symbolizes the hospitality and warmth of Sufi culture, reflecting its spirit of sharing and connection.

This concert conveys a powerful message of unity in the universal language of Sufi music, standing against prejudice and division. As Mevlana’s famous words invite, “Come, come, whoever you are,” let us gather on this special occasion where the echoes of love and tolerance resonate.

Listening to Sufi music is not merely attending an art event; it is opening a door to understanding your own heart and the hearts of others. This afternoon will be a moment where hearts unite, borders dissolve, and only love speaks.

We are delighted to welcome you to this special event, organized by the Zürich Türk Musîki Cemiyeti, on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at Salon Hecht (Bahnhofstrasse 26 - 28, 8600 Dübendorf), from 15:30 to 17:00.
