The Ottoman Mevlevi Sufi order of Mevlana Jelaleddin Rumi has over the centuries developed a sophisticated ceremony that integrated compositions on Rumi’s poetry with specific symbolic movements. A unique symphony accompanied by the remembrance ceremony of the<\/p>\n
whirling dervishes comprises the Ayin, reenacting the divine message of unity.<\/p>\n
AHMET ERDOGDULAR started studying music at an early age with his father, neyzen \u00d6mer Erdo\u011fdular, and continued his musical development with the guidance of the renowned musicians Niyazi Say\u0131n, Necdet Yasar, Kani Karaca and Alaettin Yavasca. He participated in various concerts as a lead singer while still a teenager. Ahmet completed his Master’s degree in Turkish Classical Music at the Istanbul Technical University State Conservatory specializing in voice improvisation technique. Studying the great masters, Ahmet learned Ottoman Turkish<\/p>\n
classical singing and the ways in which poetry is matched to the music so that the literary substance and the musical composition are equally represented when performing vocal improvisation. He also studied and performs Sufi musical repertoire that over centuries integrated spiritual practice and artistic expression. Ahmet participated in various festivals in Europe, Asia and the Untied States and gave lectures, seminars and taught workshops on singing and music theory. He recorded a number of music TV and radio program series as well as CD albums. In addition to his career as a vocal soloist, Ahmet\u00a0 also plays tanbur, oud and percussion. He is currently a visiting scholar at Columbia University.\u00a0 www.ahmeterdogdular.com<\/p>\n
