Many members of Sufism Reoriented participate in the arts as a way to enrich their understanding of harmony and creativity in life. In the performing arts, poets, composers, actors, dancers and musicians explore spiritual themes through music, drama, musical theater, mime and puppetry, and cabaret theater. Programs are based on Meher Baba’s messages and on vignettes from the lives of the great spiritual figures from all the world’s religious traditions.
Periodically, the chorus and performers of Sufism Reoriented present their celebrations in public venues, such as a Thanksgiving concert at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, holiday and spring concerts in Union Square in San Francisco, concerts at Rossmoor in Walnut Creek, and interfaith concerts such as at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Antioch, California.
"O flowing water, pure and clear, make music for our Lord to hear." These words of St. Francis of Assisi were sung recently by the chorus in concert with the Meher Schools Children's Chorus in San Francisco's Mission Dolores Basilica. Selections celebrated qualities associated with St. Francis—brotherhood, inclusion, love, and joy. People walking by stopped to listen and some were drawn to enter and refresh themselves through the music.
At the 2010 interfaith celebration of the United Nations International Day of Peace in Antioch, the chorus led an all-night vigil. They began each hour by singing two moving hymns that included nearly 100 names of God from different traditions. The vigil ended at dawn. Father Thomas Bonacci, the Catholic priest coordinating events, expressed his gratitude for the singing "as part of the practice of peace and prayer and grace."
