Meredith Monk

One of the most unique and influential artists of our time, composer/singer Meredith Monk has devoted her life to exploring the potential of the human voice. A pioneer of extended vocal technique and interdisciplinary art, she weaves together new modes of perception to expand the boundaries of music, performance, and visual art. This living legend returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall with her latest creation, an immersive work that is part performance, part installation, inspired by Indra’s Net, a parable illustrating life's interconnectedness.

In the ancient Buddhist/Hindu legend, an enlightened king, Indra, stretches a large net across the universe with an infinitely faceted jewel placed at each intersection. Each jewel is unique yet reflects all the others, illuminating the interdependence of all living things. Following an initial concert performance of the work at Mills College in 2021 and a North American premiere at Park Avenue Armory in 2024, this monumental creation receives a full production in its highly anticipated West Coast premiere. Monk, together with members of her extraordinary Vocal Ensemble and the highly acclaimed new-music ensemble Wild Up, offers an interplay of music, movement, and architecture to embody celestial, earthly, and human realms through sound, video, and performance. The resulting production serves as a beacon affirming life and a sense of connection to each other and all living things.

This performance is presented without an intermission.
