The 2022 Art of the Piano festival
- which we'll preview together over the next few weeks - features a lot of new directions in music, an outgrowth of the StillPoint project which commissioned 7 composers to write for Awadagin Pratt in various combinations with string orchestra and Roomful of Teeth. As such, our 2021 offerings will be hosted on the StillPoint site.
