Description

Houses of Zodiac: Poems for Cello is an album, film, and immersive video installation that combines spoken word, movement, music, and more. Houses of Zodiac: Poems for Cello is an album, film, and immersive video installation that combines spoken word, movement, music, and image to explore the intersection of mind, body, and nature. The project takes its title from the twelve houses of the zodiac as facets of the self, drawing inspiration from explorations of the subconscious including the writings of Anaïs Nin (read by Maria Popova of Brain Pickings), Pablo Neruda, Brenda Shaughnessy, and Natasha Trethewey. Additional musicians include Tanya Tagaq, Nels Cline, and others. The album, produced and recorded by Grammy-winning producer Adam Abeshouse, paints a broad sonic palette, with Side A featuring solo cello works by Prestini performed by her husband, former Kronos Quartet member Jeffrey Zeigler—the couple’s first solo album collaboration. This concert will be filmed and streamed at a later date for those who wish to watch from home. Know before you go: click here for COVID safety information.
