Sufi Concert
Explore a unique form of music and dance in the Linehan Chapel at 7:00 p.m. Sufi music means any music that connects with the heart and combines the use of Turkish folk instruments and singing that transports listeners into spiritual peace. A whirling dervish is a dancer who, by spinning, empties himself of all distracting thoughts, placing them in a spiritual trance. This special event is co-sponsored by the Nazareth College music department and the Turkish Cultural Center of Rochester.
