In the heart of Dubai’s vibrant Alserkal Avenue, an extraordinary musical experience is set to unfold on March 15th at 8:00 PM. RUMination, presented by The Fridge, brings together two exceptional musicians—Maestro Khalil Sheikh & Sandu—for a mesmerizing performance that bridges the rich traditions of Iran and India.


The name RUMination is a clear nod to the great Sufi poet Rumi, whose verses transcend borders, languages, and centuries. His poetry, deeply influenced by Persian and Indian mysticism, continues to inspire artists across the world. This event captures that essence by blending Silk Road nomadic melodies with masterful storytelling through sound.


Maestro Khalil Sheikh, known for his deep connection to Persian classical music, will take the audience on an emotional voyage through the strings of his instrument. Meanwhile, Sandu, a tabla virtuoso, will infuse the performance with the intricate rhythms of Indian classical traditions. Together, they will create a sonic landscape that resonates with the soul, much like Rumi’s poetry does.


More Than Just a Concert


This is not just a performance; it’s an immersive experience, an invitation to reflect, meditate, and lose oneself in the music. The seamless blend of Iranian and Indian traditions serves as a reminder of the deep cultural connections that have existed for centuries along the Silk Road.


The venue, The Fridge Warehouse in Alserkal Avenue, is well known for curating innovative and soulful performances, making it the perfect setting for an evening of mystical sounds and transcendent melodies.
