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...
By Ben Zilber
When you go to a four-hour concert of music by Béla Bartók, the composer and pioneering ethnomusicologist, you know that you’re going to have an interesting audience. The music is not easy, but it is full of vibrancy and vitality with a rhythmic undercurrent that drives the music like a wild beast.
