Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble concert

On her 40th anniversary season tour – along with her Vocal Ensemble -Meredith Monk performs the third time in Trafó.

“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. The results are haunting, poignant, terrifying and sometimes screamingly funny…Her concert, the opening event…introduced 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 attentions and never let go.” Donald Rosenberg, The Plain Dealer
