About Meredith Monk
Meredith Monk, born in New York in 1942, has worked since the 1960s across music, dance, film and theatre. She founded the performance company The House in 1968 and Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble in 1978. Her vocal writing uses cries, breath, glottal sounds and repeated melodic cells alongside conventional singing, often over simple piano or organ patterns.
Her long relationship with ECM Records produced albums such as Dolmen Music and Book of Days, the latter also a feature film she directed. Larger works include the opera ATLAS and Songs of Ascension. She received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1995 and the National Medal of Arts in 2015.
