National Sawdust celebrates its bold, artistic spirit with “Contemplations from National Sawdust” — a six-episode retrospective on the Brooklyn-based music venue’s innovative addition to the New York City arts scene.

Founded in 2015, National Sawdust has positioned itself as an incubator for diverse talent that consistently pushes the boundaries of the artistic experience. “Contemplations from National Sawdust” — debuting on the ALL ARTS broadcast channel, website and app June 27 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern — celebrates the nonprofit’s half-a-decade’s worth of exploration through a mix of conversations and performances.

The six episodes of “Contemplations from National Sawdust” were curated by National Sawdust co-founder Paola Prestini and features performances by Philip Glass, Renée Fleming, Nico Muhly, Nadia Sirota, Theo Bleckmann, Du Yun, Laura Ortman, Anthony Roth Costanzo, Helga Davis, Tania León, Daniel Bernard Roumain and more.

“Because I had struggled as an artist in New York City, I knew that it was a mentorship, a bridge, that artists needed — from emerging to established life,” Prestini says in the series of National Sawdust’s inception. “And so, in looking at that, we began to really think about, ‘Well, what is a 21st century artist?’ It can be an activist, an entrepreneur, someone, you know, who could be an educator. But really, it’s a fluid understanding that talent transcends genre and that this space needed to be a home for many different communities of new music across style.”

The series kicks off June 27 with “21c Liederabend Opus Worldwide,” co-produced by Prestini and Beth Morrison. Opening and closing with an interview featuring Renée Fleming, the episode unites a group of women and top-flight composition talent, and includes works by Prestini, Amyra León, Holland Andrews, Theodosia Roussos, Diana Syrse and Lido Pimienta.

The films featured in the episode — each a dynamic presentation of artistry that brings together visual artists, filmmakers and musicians — are surrounded by the voices of creators who walk viewers through the inspiration and hopes for the sonic and visual pieces showcased.

The series continues with episodes that journey from the institution’s beginnings to its present. Episodes debut weekly on Sundays through Aug. 1.
