Experience an unforgettable evening of spiritual music, whirling dervishes, and the timeless wisdom of Rumi, set within the unique surroundings of Ghent’s Church of Our Lady, Sint-Pieterskerk. During this special ceremony, you will be immersed in the mysticism, serenity, and profound symbolism of the Mevlevi tradition.
The performance is held in commemoration of Şeb-i Arûs, literally “the Night of Union.” This term marks the death anniversary of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, which, according to his own words, was not a day of mourning but the moment when his soul was “united with the Beloved (God).” Traditionally, this night is observed with Sema ceremonies, recitations, and spiritual gatherings.
The Meyan Ensemble brings the authentic atmosphere of the Sema to life with a performance that powerfully unites tradition and spirituality. Under the artistic direction of M. Fatih Ince, this unique event promises to be an evening that will resonate long afterward.
This performance is organized in collaboration with the Meyan Ensemble.
