This program originally broadcast on October 1, 2016 features Meredith Monk in a 1976 interview with Charles Ruas at WBAI radio conducted on the occasion of the premier performance of her seminal musical-theatrical work, Quarry. The interview was originally broadcast alongside a radio-only production of the work. The unedited interview and the full radio production can be heard at clocktower.org.
