Meredith Monk is much more than a vocalist. She has pioneered a unique vocal technique that sounds alien and beautiful. She pushes her vocal cords to the limit, creating tones and timbre you wouldn’t think were possible. Monk is also a composer, dancer and artist, and she’s known for creating dramatic art installations interweaving music, performance and physical art. She appears at the Cleveland Institute of Music tonight as part of the Mixon Hall Masters Series. The concert starts at 8, and tickets are $28 to $40. (Gonzalez)
