Whirling dervishes from Konya, Turkey will perform their traditional Mevlevi Order Sufi ritual. The program, filled with music and dance, is designed to induce a meditative state on the love of God. The music, containing core elements of Sufi music, serves mainly as accompaniment for poems of Rumi and other Sufi poets. The captivating dance of the whirling dervishes, which displays infinite spinning in perfect harmony, is part of Turkish custom, history, beliefs and culture.
