Sacred Bridge: Earth and Water

Nirmala Rajasekar & David Jordan Harris 

Tuesday, April 14 2026 | 7PM

Care for the earth and the sanctity of water are central motifs in David Jordan Harris and Nirmala Rajasekar’s new artistic co-creation, Sacred Bridge: Earth and Water. Building on more than a decade of musical collaboration, Harris and Rajasekar weave music, poetry and wisdom literature into a concert drawing on the deep pool of Sephardic piyyutim and kantigas and the rich tradition of Indian compositions in various ragas and talas. The concert is produced by the Jay Phillips Center for Interreligious Studies at the University of St. Thomas and takes place at Schoenecker Science Center Performance Hall (2210 Summit Ave., St. Paul). Admission is free, but registration is required due to limited seating: link.stthomas.edu/SacredBridge
