ISLAMABAD:
A two-day mystic music Sufi festival under the aegis of the Rafi Peer Theater Workshop begins at the Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) auditorium today.
The event is a good news for those who lamented the lack of opportunities to see Sufi festivals taking place in the capital city. The festival aims to bring over 100 Sufi singers from all over Pakistan to perform various styles of expressions on mysticism.
The Peerzada brothers held a press conference here on Thursday to brief the media about the festival saying the event in Islamabad would be an opportune time to pay tribute to their dear departed brother, Faizaan Peerzada.
The two-day festival is open to the public with no tickets fee and the timings start from 7:00 pm onwards. Some well known performers including Sain Zahoor, Akhtat Chinar Zahri, Akbar Khan Khamesu, Goonga and Mithu Sain will enthrall the visitors.

why we always get such kind of news or information for any happening event in islamabad right on the day it starts. even the website of PNCA is not showing any kind of information regarding this event. there should be a proper advertising regarding such events well ahead so that people come and manage their time for such kind of activities.
