At this gathering in London in 2014, the Royal Ottoman Society welcomed Sheikh Bahauddin Efendi, and Ayberk Efendi shared a musical composition inspired by the Sheikh’s teachings. This part is brief and carries words of heartfelt thanks, reflecting the deep appreciation felt by all present.
Ayberk Efendi’s piece, the fifth part of the series, joins traditional Ottoman tonalities with a contemporary sensitivity—a bridge between past and present that invites listeners to contemplate the inner harmony cultivated by Sufi practice.
A selection of recordings from our gatherings is available in the Society’s online library.
