“In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances” - Rumi, 13th Century Mystic & Poet
WHAT TO EXPECT
Join us for another intimate and meditative concert presented by the Leamington Heart Meditation Drumming Circle, featuring members of the Soveida Ensemble.
Let the rhythms carry you on a journey within, as the love-filled words of Rumi and other mystical poets fill the air. Alternating between deeply relaxing and gently invigorating, the music is designed to connect you more deeply with your heart.
The evening begins at 7:30pm and concludes at 9:00pm. Seating options include chairs, or floor cushions and you're able to specify your preference on booking.
All proceeds from this event will be donated to charity. Space is limited, so be sure to book your place in advance!
MORE ABOUT SOVEIDA
Based on a long since forgotten form of Classical Persian music, the Soveida Ensemble perform on some of the oldest instruments created by man, including the Tanbour, Setar, Tar, Daf and Tombak.
This style of music is a rendition of ancient Gnostic sacred rhythms that have been passed down from one generation to another, from master to student, over thousands of years, and form part of a Gnostic spiritual exercise of creating ever deeper inner emptiness, as a means of journeying to ones essence, or soul.
Even though these rhythms have been employed in the East for centuries, The Soveida Ensemble is the first group who has presented them in a concert format for the benefit of a Western audience. For this reason, it forms a unique opportunity to experience the only group playing this specific strain of Classical Persian music.
Audiences in Germany, France, Belgium, Sweden, Spain and throughout the UK have welcomed the Soveida Ensemble and following a full house in February, they are delighted to be returning to this unique and intimate gathering in Leamington.
