The Austin Chapter of Dialogue Institute will sponsor the Annual Dialogue & Friendship Dinner on Sunday, October 20, at the Hilton Austin, featuring Coleman Barks and David Darling. For over 30 years, Coleman Barks has collaborated with various scholars of the Persian language to translate the poetry of the 13th Century mystic, Jelaluddin Rumi. The collaborative effort resulted in 21 volumes, including the bestselling, Essential Rumi, in 1995, which was included in the prestigious Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces. Over the last 15 years, Rumi has been the most-read poet in the United States. Barks appeared on the Bill Moyers’ PBS specials on a couple of occasions. Grammy-winning artist, David Darling is considered a “maverick cellist,” a phrase that hardly captures the richness, diversity, and breadth with which he redefines the way the cello is played. His innovative performance style represents an eclectic variety of musical genres. The Dialogue Institute annual gatherings further the cross-cultural and interfaith understanding of people in our Austin Metro area. Your support is greatly appreciated.
