The Tufts Department of Music presents Sufi Utterances for Peace: Qawwali Mehfil performed by Ghayoor-Moiz-Mustafa Qawwal & Brothers. Qawwali is a form of Sufi devotional voice and instrumental performance, originating in South Asia. Each performance is unique, as these classically trained vocalists, who are amongst the most exciting contemporary practitioners, interweave verse-chorus sequences that are rich in poetic and spiritual symbolism in Urdu, Farsi, Hindi, Poorvi, Arabic, and Punjabi. Registration recommended through the event web page.

Co-sponsored by the Harvard University History Department, Tufts Center for South Asia and Indian Ocean Studies, the Tufts Departments of Religion, Race Colonialism & Diaspora, English, and Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies, The Toupin Bolwell Fund, Center for the Humanities at Tufts, the University Chaplaincy, Jonathan M.
