Experience a groundbreaking fusion where classical music traditions of South India and the West meet. Hear a North American premiere unlike any other by Minnesota’s own Shruthi Rajasekar. Hailed as “the most exciting piece of new music for choir and orchestra” by Canadian critic Natasha Gauthier, Sarojini (pronounced sa-RO-ji-ni) brings world-renowned Indian musicians Nirmala Rajasekar and Thanjavur Murgaboopathi, the VocalEssence Chorus and Ensemble Singers, and the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra together in a thrilling soundscape that tells the story of India’s fight for independence from the British Empire.“Your ideals of patriotism should not be limited to the prosperity of India; they should extend to the welfare of the world.”—Sarojini Naidu
