This Pick of the Week features composer and vocalist Meredith Monk. The visionary has been deemed “a magician of the voice” (The New York Times), and “one of America’s coolest composers” (Time Out New York). Celebrated internationally, her work has been presented by Lincoln Center, Houston Grand Opera, London’s Barbican Centre, and at major venues in countries from Brazil to Syria. Monk’s groundbreaking exploration of the voice as an instrument expands the boundaries of musical composition, creating landscapes of sound that unearth feelings, energies, and memories for which there are no words. In this program she and her acclaimed vocal ensemble illustrate her range as a composer and her engagement with performance as a vehicle for spiritual transformation. We hope you enjoy it.
