Juice Vocal Ensemble: Call for Works - "To Meredith Monk"

The imaginative vocal trio, Juice (Anna Snow, Sarah Dacey and Kerry Andrew) present a tribute to the creative achievements of composer-vocalist-choreographer Meredith Monk, whose 75th birthday is this year.

Alongside performances of Monk’s unique music for unaccompanied voices, Juice will be premiering new pieces inspired by her work. Please see the call for works below for details.
