ABOUT MEREDITH MONK<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n


\u201cMonk has mapped a world that never quite existed in the history of the arts. At once visceral and ethereal, raw and rapt, her works banish the spurious complexities of urban life and reveal a kind of underground civilization, one that sings, dances, and meditates on timeless forces.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf Monk is seeking a place in the classical firmament, classical music has much to learn from her…She may loom even larger as the new century unfolds, and later generations will envy those who got to see her live.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Alex Ross, The New Yorker<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c…she is at once fearless, unique, uncompromising and yet builds human values into work that is never polemical, and has communicated across genre boundaries long before ‘crossover’ was even a term.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Anne Midgette, The Washington Post<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c…one of contemporary music’s great innovators.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT MEREDITH MONK IN CONCERT<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n


“A composer, singer and theater artist for whom experimentation has led to wondrous discovery, Monk conjures up a spectrum of colorful and evocative sounds from her one-of-a-kind vocal instrument.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“…a musician of boundless imagination and vision. Both alone and with her vocal ensemble, she took the audience into enchanting, compassionate and disturbing worlds …the shadings, effects and expressive elements captured the listener’s attention and never let go.”<\/span><\/p>\n
