Meredith Jane Monk (born November 20, 1942)[1] is an American composer, performer, director, vocalist, filmmaker, and choreographer.
From the 1960s onwards, Monk has created multi-disciplinary works which combine music, theatre, and dance, recording extensively for ECM Records.[1] In 1991, Monk composed Atlas, an opera, commissioned and produced by the Houston Opera and the American Music Theater Festival.
