The Program in Scripture and the Arts Presents Dunya: Popular Scriptures in Islam
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.
