Lennie Charles has been performing music and poetry events from the works of classic mystic poets such as Rumi, Kahill Gibran , Lao Tzu , Omar Khayyam and Kabir to name a few, to local audiences for number of years. A Classical and Middle Eastern multi-instrumentalist and a big fan of BBC Radio’s “Words & Music” He wanted to bring that listening experience to a live audience. The music is often improvised and poems read twice, lines repeated and may also re-read against another poem. Poems he says need to be read and listened too twice sometimes, one for the head and again for the heart.
Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet is a hugely influential philosophical work of prose poetry- an inspirational, allegorical guide to living. It is one of the world’s most read books and one that many have turned to in critical moments of their lives.
Join us either in the afternoon or evening for this special performance celebrating 100 years of the publication with prose, poetry and music, woven with biographical details about Gibran’s life.
