As composer Alex Berko explains, Sacred Space “connects the old with the new, the sacred with the secular, and the individual with their community.” Using elements from Jewish liturgy combined with “the writings of several American environmentalists and poets who have spoken about their relationship with the earth,” Sacred Place aims to create “a sonic space” exploring “themes of community, nature, compassion, and healing.”
