PAOLA PRESTINI isn’t your typical music industry impresario. Beyond the fact that female impresarios are few and far between, she operates in an ecosphere that her fellow producers, talent scouts, fundraisers and promoters might not recognize. On almost any given night at National Sawdust, the upstart Brooklyn concert hall and arts incubator Prestini co-founded in 2015, music lovers gather to listen to innovative jazz, hip-hop, pop, opera, live film scoring or spoken word. Prestini, 42, gets behind all of it with equal intensity and a gift for building young audiences.
