Deeply evocative Persian Sufi music from the master of the tanbur.
Maestro of the tanbur Seyed Ali Jaberi returns to St George’s after his rapturously received concert in 2019. This is deeply evocative Persian Sufi music played by Ali Jaberi and the virtuosic Hamdel Ensemble who combine instrumental brilliant with the profound philosophical and spiritual poetry of the revered 13th Century Persian poet Rumi.
Seyed Ali Jaberi is a highly acclaimed tanbur maestro, a multi-instrumentalist, and an educator, who is seen as one of the most significant figures in contemporary Sufi music. He leads the Hamdel Ensemble, a group of Iranian Sufi musicians based in the UK, performing Jaberi’s unique contemporary Sufi music compositions.
