IHRAH: SACRED WATERS
The rivers of India are revered as personifications of divinity. Since time immemorial, river worship has been performed in India to respect the vitality of water as a life-sustaining force. Based on the poetic sanctity of these rituals, Ihrah: Sacred Waters, is an evening length work set to a live south Indian orchestra and features a specially commissioned world premiere from composer Marc Anderson made possible by Dr. Robert and Katherine Goodale and the American composer's forum. NAMASTE
Namaste, or Welcome, to Ragamala's annual Gala event, which begins with a performance of Ihrah: Sacred Waters at the historic Southern Theater. The evening continues at the elegant Weisman Art Museum, where you will experience the extraordinary flavors and vibrant colors of an Indian Mela, or celebration. Enjoy dinner catered by Bombay Bistro, an open bar, and a silent auction highlighted by vacation packages, gift certificates to the Twin Cities' most lauded theaters and restaurants, home-cooked Indian dinners, and exquisite Indian art chosen by Ragamala's Artistic Directors. "Ragamala's work is, without exception,
gorgeous, poetic and revelatory."
