ARTS

Monk discusses her creations in pre-concert talk

Monk’s lecture on Wednesday to a jam-packed Hallock Auditorium gave students a glimpse into her journey to stardom and her interdisciplinary approach to art.

Bartók here...Bartók there...

When you go to a four-hour concert of music by Béla Bartók, the composer and pioneering ethnomusicologist, you know that you’re going to have an interesting audience. The music is not easy, but it is full of vibrancy and vitality with a rhythmic undercurrent that drives the music like a wild beast.
