DHI Event | Punjabi Week - Gurbani Sangit Concert

Punjabi Week

Event Date

Location
Student Community Center, Multi-Purpose Room

This South Asian classical music concert from the region of Punjab in north India and present-day Pakistan extols the beauty of nature.  Sacred music, or Gurbani Sangit, is essential to Sikh devotional expression.  Of all the major world faiths, music may play the most central role in the spiritual lives of the millions of Sikhs who live around the world.  Beginning with its founder, Guru Nanak (1469-1539), all of the verses in the Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh scripture) were composed in classical modal melodies called raags.  This concert features universal prayers in Sikhi that meditate on the theme of abundance that nurtures the physical and spiritual needs of humanity.  The concert is free and open to the public.  Langar (a free communal meal) will be provided.
