Soley Ensemble: Inner Journey 1

A night of mystical Persian Sufi music, poetry and dance brought to life by one of the city’s most beloved singers. Following on his last sold-out concert at the Aga Khan Museum, Tehran-born Soley Vaseghi brings to the stage five decades of dedication to his craft, and a deeply soulful approach to performance. His group features some of Canada’s finest performers of Persian music, as well as the beguiling beauty of sacred Sufi whirling, the poetry of RUMI, Hafez and more, all in the acoustic splendor of St. Andrew’s.
