Love is a journey—one that moves through longing, devotion, ecstasy, and surrender, leading the soul from the earthly to the divine. “Ishq Ke Saat Muqaam”, written and directed by Nishar Mansuri, brings this timeless odyssey to life through poetry, music, and storytelling.

Featuring storytelling by Owais Sheikh and a distinguished music ensemble of Dhaivat Jani, Gandhaar Amin, Sahil K, Saba Zameniand Nathan Khan, the performance blends traditional and modern Sufi influences, creating an immersive and soul-stirring experience.

Presented in partnership with The City of Toronto Music Office and Small World Music
