The critically acclaimed Live@365 series begins its spring season with the concert Turkish Sufi Improvisations, featuring Erdal Erzincan.

In his US debut as a soloist, acclaimed baglama (plucked lute) virtuoso and vocalist Erdal Erzincan performs the exquisite music of the Alevi, a mystical Sufi order with more than 20-million followers in Turkey. Erdal will perform on a variety of baglamas, singing folk and sacred songs that interweave ecstatic rhythms with stirring melodic phrases.

TICKETS $25, $20 members
