THE MUSIC OF LIFE – CONNECTING HEARTS
OUR LIVE GATHERINGS AND CREATIVE OFFERINGS IN THE NETHERLANDS
In response to the many challenges facing our global family — including poverty, displacement, social injustice, climate change, and the lasting impact of the pandemic — Lightsong Inayatiyya has hosted a series of heart-opening gatherings that weave together music, storytelling, sacred poetry, and community.
Over the years, these benefit concerts and cultural evenings have supported projects such as the Hope Project in India, founded by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan in the early 1980s. Through music and the creative arts, shared meals, and informal connection, we’ve sought to uplift the spirit, nourish a sense of kinship, and awaken what unites us beyond the boundaries of race, culture, religion, and nation.
For many years, monthly events were held at the Sufi Center in The Hague, and later at the Soefi Huis in Haarlem, in collaboration with friends from the Sufi Contact and Rumi Today. These gatherings have featured musicians and artists from a wide range of traditions — from Indian classical to Persian ghazals, from Turkish Sufi music to Rumi poetry and sacred dance.
While we no longer offer monthly public concerts, we continue to host special events from time to time at both venues in The Hague and Haarlem. Each gathering remains a celebration of beauty, connection, and the universal language of the heart.
A Musical Celebration for Shaikh-ul-Mashaikh Mahmood Khan – 98 Years of Grace

Followed by a shared potluck meal at 18:00
Location: Anna Paulownastraat 78, Den Haag
We warmly invite you to a special afternoon of Sufi music, poetry, and celebration in honor of Shaikh-ul-Mashaikh Mahmood Khan, beloved nephew of Hazrat Inayat Khan, who turns 98 this year — a life dedicated to the Sufi path!
Musical offerings will be shared by Sipko den Boer and Cengiz Arslanpay, joined by the gifted brothers Mehmet and Ali Ungan, who will travel from Mannheim especially for this occasion.
Let us gather in beauty, remembrance, and joy to honor this remarkable soul. The celebration will conclude with a potluck dinner — feel free to bring a vegetarian dish to share.
