A pioneer in what is now called "extended vocal technique" and "interdisciplinary performance", the multi-faceted artist and musician Meredith Monk has continued to blur the line between movement and music and has stretched how we view and categorize art. Today, she joins us in the Soundcheck studio to reflect on her highly acclaimed career and to talk about her involvement in this weekend’s festivities for the opening of the new Zankel Hall. We follow that with a visit from Krishna Das, a master of Hindu devotional chanting. His works have brought America a style of chanting not often heard here. Plus, we will take a look at the musical events around New York that will commemorate the events of September 11th.
