PENNY STAMPS SPEAKER SERIES + DPTV PRESENT MEREDITH MONK
On Friday, August 28 at 8:00 pm ET, tune in at dptv.org or join us on the Penny Stamps Series Facebook page to view a presentation by Meredith Monk.
Meredith Monk is a composer, singer, director, choreographer, filmmaker, and creator of new opera, music-theater works, films, and installations. Considered one of the most significant and influential creative forces in the performing arts of the past fifty years, she is a pioneer of what is now called “extended vocal technique” and “interdisciplinary performance.” Ms. Monk has received numerous awards and honors including a Duke Performing Artist Award, a MacArthur “Genius” Award, and two Guggenheim fellowships. She has made more than a dozen recordings, most of which are on the ECM New Series label, including the 2008 Grammy-nominated impermanence. Ms. Monk was named Carnegie Hall’s 2014-15 Debs Composer’s Chair, an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters by the Republic of France, and one of NPR’s 50 Great Voices. In September 2015, she received the National Medal of Arts from President Barack Obama. Celebrated internationally, her work has been presented at major venues throughout the world.
This presentation is supported by the University Musical Society.
