With her work, she encourages listeners to reconsider preconceived notions of what orchestral music can be, inviting them into a realm that feels both familiar and radically new. Her impact resonates particularly in how she draws audiences from diverse musical backgrounds, making orchestral music accessible and engaging for the modern listener. Meredith's approach often involves a playful experimentation with form and structure, transforming conventional orchestration through the incorporation of electronic elements and unexpected rhythms. This willingness to fuse genres not only revitalizes the concert experience but also disrupts typical audience dynamics; listeners find themselves moving—not merely seated in passive reception but actively engaged in her sonic explorations. In her songwriting, Meredith frequently explores themes of intimacy, technology, and the intersection of emotions within everyday experiences. Her voice strikes a balance between sincerity and irony, creating pieces that resonate on multiple levels while embracing a storytelling approach that invites personal interpretation. Each composition feels like an invitation to reflect on the nuances of life as they unfold in sound.
