Meredith Monk is a composer, singer, director/choreographer and creator of new opera, music theater works, films and installations. A pioneer in what is now called "extended vocal technique" and "interdisciplinary performance," Monk creates works that thrive at the intersection of music and movement, image and object, light and sound in an effort to weave together new modes of perception.

Her performance will be a featured event in the symposium "Creativity: Worlds in the Making," sponsored by the Office of Entrepreneurship and the Liberal Arts, to be held March 18, 19, and 20. Ms. Monk will also give the closing keynote address at the symposium.
