We conclude our 2025 season of the Angel’s Share with Houses of Zodiac, a sprawling, multidisciplinary masterwork by composer Paola Prestini, praised by The Wall Street Journal as an artist "known for pushing the boundaries of classical music." Prestini's expansive composition is brought to life by Jeffrey Zeigler (formerly of the Kronos Quartet) on solo cello, and dancers Georgina Pazcoguin (former New York City Ballet soloist) and Dai Matsuoka (Butoh dance master of Sankai Juku), as they move through the length of the Catacombs, unfolding an emotionally-charged story of creation, guilt, and emancipation.
