Tel 07887 506848.Further details www.clarendonevents.org.uk*************************************************************************************************************The ney, which is a reed flute, the principal instrument of the whirling dervish brotherhood, held such importance that the Ney player was considered the second most significant figure in the hierarchy of the order Mevlevî (the disiples of Djalāl ad-Dīn Rûmî, 13th century). This respect was due to the Mathnawî , the great collection of poems by Rumi.For the disciples, Rumi himself described the state of those inspired by God through the metaphor of the Ney."The ney is like a reminder of the awareness of the precariousness and the ephemeral nature of our existence."Kudsi Erguner Ney (1952)Master of the Ney, musician, composer, and internationally renowned scholarBorn into a distinguished family of musicians, Kudsi Erguner received a traditionaloral transmission of Ottoman classical music from his father, Ulvi Erguner, a masterof the ney (reed flute) and a leading figure in Ottoman Sufi music. As the only Turkishmusician of his generation to receive such direct training, he absorbed a deep andauthentic musical heritage, shaped by centuries of tradition.Through his participation in various Sufi brotherhood gatherings, Erguner alsounderwent spiritual and musical training. He took part in the first performances of theWhirling Dervishes’ ceremonies in Europe and the United States, and was a memberof the Istanbul Radio Orchestra.In 1973, he moved to Paris, where he studied architecture and musicology, earningboth a Bachelor's and a Master's degree. His concert tours across Europe, the UnitedStates, and Japan brought Ottoman classical and Sufi music from Istanbul toWestern audiences, raising significant awareness of this rich musical tradition.In Turkey, Erguner formed various ensembles dedicated to reviving neglected andnearly forgotten musical styles, which had been marginalized by the country’smodernist reforms. As an artistic advisor to major festivals, and a record producer forseveral European labels, he has played a major role in the restoration of thesetraditions, both internationally and in Turkey.With over 130 CDs released across Europe, the U.S., Japan, and Turkey, KudsiErguner has created an extensive discography showcasing not only his authenticinterpretation and creativity, but also offering a broad overview of Ottoman andMediterranean musical heritage. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/3b6cc420-bce2-11f0-9774-53901ea914e5-rimg-w493-h740-dc010101-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/kudsi-erguner-master-of-the-mevlevi-ney/100001953652450069 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, live-music, festivals, workshops, concerts, art, spiritual - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 20, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: 9 Clarendon Cross W11 4AP Nearest tube Holland Park Avenue - **lat**: 51.5105186 - **long**: -0.21008729999994102 - **full address**: 9 Clarendon Cross W11 4AP Nearest tube Holland Park Avenue, 9 Clarendon Cross, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: KUDSI ERGUNER MASTER OF THE MEVLEVI NEY - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/eeca2a05cc7158fe1073c6ff605c43cfb3ed72653927e957b3d4ed8abc102ea7-rimg-w583-h817-dc1d1e1c-gmir.jpg?v=1762634051 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is KUDSI ERGUNER MASTER OF THE MEVLEVI NEY being held? - **A:** KUDSI ERGUNER MASTER OF THE MEVLEVI NEY takes place on Sun, 14 Dec, 2025 at 07:30 pm to Sun, 14 Dec, 2025 at 09:30 pm at 9 Clarendon Cross W11 4AP Nearest tube Holland Park Avenue, 9 Clarendon Cross, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing KUDSI ERGUNER MASTER OF THE MEVLEVI NEY? - **A:** KUDSI ERGUNER MASTER OF THE MEVLEVI NEY is organized by CLARENDON EVENTS. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
