This Sufi Music Concert and Live Show, performed only by the Whirling Dervishes, has come to symbolize these values in the hearts and minds of millions throughout the world.

The Whirling Dervishes will perform in El Paso on Thursday, September 24, 2015 at the Abraham Chavez Theater. Sabri Agachan of the Raindrop Turkish House and Ann Horack, Director of the Religious Studies Program at UTEP discuss the performance.
