A Tapestry of Sacred Music

Esplanade’s annual music festival showcases traditional sacred music from far and wide, including Syria, South Africa, Japan and Europe. Highlights include a Sufi whirling dervish performance led by Noureddine Khourchid and a rendition of British composer John Tavener’s rhapsodic Flood of Beauty, a classical opera that incorporates Indian instruments and revolves around Hindu gods.
