Plymouth resident Nirmala Rajasekar has a lot to be proud of, especially after receiving one of four McKnight Fellowships sponsored by the MacPhail Center for Music.

Rajasekar is an accomplished Veena Player and vocalist who has been performing for the last 25 years (she’s even shared her talent at the United Nations and Carnegie Hall!). After an extensive application process including performances in front of a panel of national and regional judges, Rajasekar was awarded a $25,000 fellowship.

Congrats Nirmala!
