RESOUNDING ECHOES: From August 2022, Robert McCarney's regular series features little-known twentieth century classical composers.
John Dante Prevedini (born 1987) is a composer, educator and public speaker hailing from Connecticut and active throughout New England and beyond. Drawing upon a variety of fields, his work aims to examine unconventional facets of everyday life through a multidisciplinary lens. He holds a DMA from the University of Hartford Hartt School (in composition with history and theory minors), an MM in composition from the University of Rhode Island, an MBA from Salve Regina University, and a BA from Connecticut College with a triple major in Music, East Asian Studies, and BCMB (Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology).
