The Dancing Voice of Meredith Monk

Cellular Songs
Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble
Mar 14-18
“I always say I am working with a dancing voice and a singing body.”
-Meredith Monk
Meredith Monk has spent more than five decades exploring and expanding the capacity of that most essential instrument: the human voice. Returning to BAM after the ecstatic hymn to compassion On Behalf of Nature (2014 Next Wave), Monk and the four women of her peerless vocal ensemble present a new work, continuing their investigation of the interconnected, ineffable relationship between humans and the natural world.

16 Millimeter Earrings (1966)
Quarry (1976)
Dolmen Music (1979)
The Games (1984)
Meredith Monk: An Artist and Her Music (1987)
ATLAS: an opera in three parts (1992)
Vessel Suite (1993)
The Politics of Quiet (1996)
mercy (2002)
impermanence (2006)
Songs of Ascension (2009)
On Behalf of Nature (2014)
Cellular Songs (2018)

In way Roger Waters, Dullmea or John Cage have works on this subject, it always amazes me how intersting our body can sound
