Monk discusses her creations in pre-concert talk
By Liz Logan
For over a week now, many of us have stared at Meredith Monk’s picture on the Oberlin website — the one where she has cornrows and sways to one side with her eyes closed, looking like a true hippie. We look at her and wonder, what’s this “rule-breaking” artist all about? 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.

Bart�k here...Bart�k there...
