CRITIC’S PICK – Time Out New York
“This exceptional show [was] a concert of Meredith Monk compositions performed by The M6, a group of ridiculously talented young singers … ACB and I exchanged many astounded “did-you-just-[bleep]ing-hear-THAT” glances throughout the show … The tremendous virtuosity on display actually did hit home, in a thrillingly visceral way … The M6 singers were so committed to the music and so engaged in their roles that it was impossible not to get drawn into the world they were creating. The songs may not have words, but they do tell stories, and The M6 made these imagined narratives absolutely riveting…. if The M6 were to expand beyond their current mandate of representing Meredith Monk’s music to include other composers, they have the potential to become the Eighth Blackbird of new vocal music.”

“Tonight I saw virtuosity with intent - musical, dramatic, emotional, intellectual. And it was moving! Exciting! Beautiful! … These performers were TALKING to each other. Sharing ideas, having arguments, loving and consoling and laughing with each other. And yet not a single “word” was sung or spoken. … But I saw more true communication between people tonight than I’ve seen on many an opera/theater stage, where there are actual words in actual languages. This incredible openness and communication paired with virtuosity created, as you can imagine, an unparalleled performance. Truly inspiring.”
—Anne-Carolyn Bird, The Concert
