“We’re pleased and honored that the Howard Gilman Foundation has made this award for Meredith Monk’s 50th Season of creating and performing work in New York, a year in which she will present a major new work at BAM and will hold the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair at Carnegie Hall. This generous institutional support anchors a campaign by many individuals to bring much wider recognition to this great American artist and to lay a foundation for her Lineage Project, which will preserve her work and transmit it to future generations.”
James Paul, Executive Director
