The composer's season began with Houses of Zodiac: Poems for Cello, a new album of solo cello works performed by Jeffrey Zeigler, which was released on National Sawdust Tracks on September 10. The album also features the poetry of Pablo Neruda, Anaïs Nin (read by Maria Popova), Brenda Shaughnessy, and Natasha Trethewey, as well as Prestini's score (with vocals composed by Tanya Tagaq) for the documentary We Breathe Again. The album launched with a September 9 event at National Sawdust, presented by Death of Classical, which included a preview of the companion film (directed by Murat Eyuboglu, featuring dance and choreography by Georgina Pazcoguin and Dai Matsuoka), which will premiere as an immersive video installation in 2022.
From September 13 to December 3, Prestini will be in residence at the American Academy in Rome as the Paul Fromm Resident in Composition, joining a cohort for the highly prestigious fellowship that includes luminaries like Natasha Trethewey and Ava DuVernay. Other highlights of the season include world premieres of works commissioned by Diametrically Composed, Irish Arts Center, and The Liaisons Project; a new 21c Liederabend co-curated and co-directed with Beth Morrison Projects; works featured on new albums by Inna Faliks and Foward Music Project; and the world premiere of Barcarola performed by Orchestre Métropolitain.
