A music recital was organized by Tehran Yunus Emre Institute on the occasion of the 749th anniversary of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi.

The band Gönül Aynası, consisting of Iranian musicians playing the lute, santoor, tambourine, bendir and reed, gave the audience a musical banquet with the compositions of Mevlana's work Mesnevi and the arrangements they made inspired by him.

Turkish and Iranian music lovers showed great interest in the program where couplets of Mevlana were recited.
