A Night of Mystical Music - Dr. Randy Weston in Concert
with Dr. Randy Weston, Pir Zia Inayat-Khan and Fatima Hafiz-Muid, PhD
September 23, 2017
UPDATE: To ensure the highest musical quality, the venue has shifted to the BERKSHIRE MUSEUM. We are grateful for their willingness to partner and accommodate this magical evening! More information can be found HERE.
Music has been the language of mystics and mundanes alike because it speaks the language of the soul. Dr. Randy Weston, a master musician, has been influenced by the mystical voice of Sufi teacher, Hazrat Inayat Khan, father of the Abode’s founder.
Join us for a night of conversation between Dr. Randy Weston and Pir Zia Inayat-Khan (via teleconference), grandson of Hazrat Inayat Khan, followed by a concert from Dr. Weston. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Fatima Hafiz-Muid. Between the conversation and concert, Ivy Hylton of Serenity Healing Arts will offer a sound healing session – two treats before the concert even begins!
This concert will prove to be a most lively and spiritual gathering as Dr. Weston’s music reaches into your soul.
