“Popular Scriptures in Turkish Islam”
DUNYA Ensemble
Many devotional and liturgical poems composed in the Turkish language by Suleyman Celebi (early 15th c.), Yunus Emre (13th c.) and others still reserve a very popular place in Islam in Turkey. Join us for a lecture on Anatolian Islamic musical and ritualistic traditions that use the Turkish language in their poetry, followed by Q&A with the audience and a lively 40-minute recital featuring the DUNYA ensemble. A reception will follow in the GSU Back Court.
Location: GSU Auditorium
