Mary Prescott

Mary Prescott is a Thai-American interdisciplinary artist, composer, and pianist who explores the foundations and facets of identity and social conditions through experiential performance. Featured in “21 for ‘21: Composers and Performers Who Sound Like Tomorrow,” The Washington Post describes Mary’s work as “a bright light cast forward... uncompromising,” and “masterfully envisioned.” Mary is an awardee of the McKnight Composer Fellowship, NPN Creation and Development Fund, and many others.

Ancestral Table is a shared meal and interdisciplinary performance that examines the relationships between ecology, migration, cultural inheritance and maternal legacy through Mary’s Thai mother’s family recipes.
