Event Description
Nirmala Rajasekar is one of the premier Saraswathi veena players in the world today. A dynamic and vibrant musician, she has performed in many leading venues around the world, including Carnegie Hall and the United Nations. An established vocalist and well-known composer, Nirmala is seen internationally as a “Carnatic Ambassador” and leader in forging new paths on the Saraswathi veena.
Nirmala’s Grand Marais performance will be accompanied by her daughter, Carnatic vocalist Shruthi Rajasekar.

A 2023 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow, Shruthi draws from her unique dual background in the Carnatic (South Indian classical) and Western classical traditions to create intersectional music.
