Sound of Kashmir — Pt. Abhay Sopori | Amstelkerk Amsterdam
Some music doesn’t just move you — it stills you.
Pt. Abhay Sopori, son of the legendary Pt. Bhajan Sopori — the Saint of Santoor — is the living heir of one of India’s most revered musical lineages. He carries the Sufiana Gharana of Kashmir: rooted in Sufi devotion, refined over centuries, and passed down through one of the subcontinent’s most celebrated musical families.
This evening is a tribute to his father, and a continuation of his life’s work: the belief that music can connect the human soul to its own depth.
Accompanied by santoor player Aakash Brunner and tabla maestro Chanchal Singh, Pt. Abhay Sopori performs in the Amstelkerk — a 19th-century Amsterdam church whose intimate scale and natural acoustics make it one of the most extraordinary spaces in the city for this music.
At a time when the world is searching for peace, Sahaja Yoga Meditation invites us to respond — not with more noise, but with stillness. To turn inward, and travel beneath the restlessness, beneath everything we carry, into the quiet depths of our own being. There, in that silence, transformation becomes possible: a reconnection with the self at our very core — untouched, luminous, whole — and a freeing from all the veils that lie between us and our peace.
