National Sawdust's 2018-2019 "SEASON FOUR" highlighted New Music--New Opera, New Jazz, New Pioneers in Contemporary Performances. These productions were the result of multiple programs being developed by National Sawdust --a Master Curator's Series, artist and group residencies, educational internships, and successful partnerships with other arts organizations. The performances were presented in the National Sawdust building, a state of the art music venue constructed within the renovated shell of a 100 year old sawdust factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
In addition to the established Artists-in-Residence program which has helped over 40 groups in developing their careers, National Sawdust formally began a Projects-in-Residence program to concentrate on creating one specific concept or piece currently in development. Part of the goal of this new project is to present the new piece outside the National Sawdust venue, traveling locally and globally.The related expenses are included in the first program statement.
