A night of remembrance, where poetry, music, and silence open the heart to love’s eternal light.✨
'An Evening with Rumi was a brilliant piece of artwork. A masterpiece. And this is an understatement.'~ Harriet Rodrigues
Join us this December for String of Pearls Ensemble’s next event, a luminous commemoration of Seb-i Arus—Rumi’s 'Wedding Night' the sacred moment of his passing and union with the Divine. In these times of deep conflict and suffering, we gather to be reminded of his eternal call to love, unity, and peace. Through poetry, music, and movement, Rumi’s words become living lanterns, guiding us back to the stillness of the heart.
The performance will trace the journey of Rumi’s life—from his early years as a scholar and teacher, through his meeting with Shams of Tabriz, to his profound spiritual awakening—illuminating the experiences that shaped his poetry and teachings of love, devotion, and unity.
