Live concert followed by a screening of a documentary about Meredith Monk

Manchester Camerata is proud to be partnering once again with Scene Festival for this 7-day celebratory event, featuring new and classic LGBTQ+ cinema and TV, screenings, panels and special events..

Join us for a live concert that features music exploring identity, resilience, and self-expression. The program includes Stringsongs, a moving work for string quartet by Meredith Monk, and Aaron Copland’s iconic Appalachian Spring, arranged for 13 instruments. Together, these pieces take listeners on an emotional and musical journey.

This is followed by a screening of the new documentary Monk in Pieces.

Discover the story of Meredith Monk—visionary composer, performer, and artistic pioneer. Monk in Pieces explores her groundbreaking career, her challenges as a young artist, and her lasting influence on music and performance. As Monk works on her latest piece, Indra’s Net, the film captures her reflections on legacy, creativity, and the passage of time.
