The Graduate Center Presents
Turkish Sufi Improvisations

Erdal Erzincan, the acclaimed baglama (plucked lute) virtuoso and vocalist, in his US debut as a soloist.
Length: 1 hr 30 mins
Intermission(s): Unknown
Seating: Assigned by SmartTix
Seat assignments are assigned by the SmartTix, based on the best seat at the time the order is completed.
In his US debut as a soloist, acclaimed baglama (plucked lute) virtuoso and vocalist Erdal Erzincan performs the exquisite and deeply symbolic music of the Alevi, a mystical Sufi order that boasts more than twenty million followers in Turkey. Erdal will perform on a variety of baglamas, and sing folk and sacred songs that aim to bring the listener into its trance-like realm by interweaving ecstatic rhythms with sensual melodic phrases.
(The event Ancient Persia: Songs & Stories, originally scheduled for this date, was canceled due to illness and replaced by this event.)
