“The festival culminated in “Memory Games,” a performance of works spanning Meredith Monk’s singular career. Each piece was arranged for the Bang and a Can All Stars and a vocal ensemble, comprising Monk herself with Theo Bleckmann, Katie Geissinger, and Allison Sniffin, who doubled on bowed psaltery…The concert was full of playful interactions and intricate counterpoints, showcasing Monk’s ability to create complex musical structures that feel organic and spontaneous. The performers received a standing ovation, which only abated with a first, and then second encore.”
