Listen Later

This week's show features an interview with composer and singer, Meredith Monk, who holds the 2014-2015 Composer's Chair at Carnegie Hall. For 50 years, Monk has created music that bends the limits of the human voice, much of it connected to her own films, dance, opera, and site-specific performances. The Organist's executive producer, Ross Simonini interviews her about Buddhism, her early days in New York, and her wide array of curious vocal techniques.

CREDITS This week's show was produced by Ross Simonini, with Jenna Weiss-Berman, and Andrew Leland. Banner Image: Meredith Monk
