945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street, New York, NY 10021 / General Information: (212) 570-3600

The Whitney Museum of American Art presents Meredith Monk Music at the
Whitney, a one-day-only performance marathon, featuring the work of the eminent
composer, singer, and multi-disciplinary artist. Meredith Monk's long relationship with the
Whitney began in 1970 when, as part of the Museum's legendary Composers' Showcase
series, she gave the first full concert of her music. Now, in a historic return to the Whitney,
Monk performs early material from "A Raw Recital," as well as recent large ensemble work with
Meredith Monk and Vocal Ensemble, The M6, and other artists dedicated to continuing Monk's
unique legacy.
