MEREDITH MONK is a composer, singer, director/choreographer and creator of new opera, music-theater works, films and installations. Recognized as one of the most unique and influential artists of our time. She is a longtime Buddhist practitioner, and a student of Pema Chodron. In addition to workshops and master classes at Omega, the Garrison Institute and the Zen Mountain Monastery, she has co-taught workshops with Judy Lief and Lanny Harrison both in New York and at Naropa University, where she first encountered the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in the mid-1970s. “Meredith Monk has kept, quietly and firmly, to her own course, with the singleness of purpose and richness of vision of a truly great artist.” —New York Times
