Under the vaulted ceiling of the University of Bradford’s Great Hall, something unforgettable unfolded on the evening of 5 July — a sacred encounter between sound, movement, and spirit.
As part of Bradford Literature Festival, Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London proudly presented the Whirling Dervishes – Sema Ceremony, in collaboration with the Konya Metropolitan Municipality Turkish Sufi Music and Sema Ensemble . Rooted in the teachings of Mevlânâ Jalaluddin Rūmī, the evening offered a rare, full-length performance of the Mevlevi ritual in its most authentic form.
The stage was filled not just with music and motion, but meaning. The haunting call of the ney, the pulse of the kudüm, and the measured turning of the semazens came together in a ceremony that invited stillness and spiritual ascent — a ritual not merely seen, but felt.
Among the distinguished guests in attendance were MP Imran Hussain, Türkiye’s Manchester Consul General Mr. Onur Sayın, Bradford Literature Festival Director Syima Aslam, and Esin Çelebi Bayru — the 22nd-generation descendant of Rūmī — whose presence and closing words made the evening all the more poignant.
A luminous moment of presence, remembrance, and divine rhythm — etched into the heart of this year’s festival.
