Paola Prestini is a brilliant young composer born in Italy and
raised in Mexico. A graduate of Julliard, she is the founder
and director of the award-winning interdisciplinary performing
collective VisionIntoArt. Her work is sensual and heartfelt,
touching upon minimalism, film soundtracks and the American
avant-garde tradition. Her first cd presents a stunning group
of compositions for multiple celli, voices and percussion,
clarinets, electronics, a moody piece for solo piano and a new
work composed expressly for this release. Absolutely beautiful
music by a fresh young compositional voice!
