So Percussion Unplugged

FRI, APR 17, 8 PM
LeFrak Concert Hall
“an exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam.”
The New Yorker

Experience Sō Percussion like never before in Sō Percussion Unplugged—an immersive concert that redefines “percussion chamber music” with a five-octave marimba, drums, hand-held instruments, and four tables of everyday objects. This boundary-pushing program features works by Caroline Shaw, John Cage, Vijay Iyer, and more, transforming ordinary materials into a captivating journey of sound, rhythm, and visual artistry.

For 25 years, Grammy-winning percussion quartet Sō Percussion has redefined chamber music for the 21st century through an “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker). The group is celebrated by audiences and presenters for a dazzling range of work: for live performances imbued with “telepathic powers of communication” (New York Times); for an extravagant array of collaborations; and for creating opportunities and platforms for music and artists that explore the immense possibility of art in our time.

“Through a mix of consummate skill and quirky charm, this mercurial quartet has helped to ignite an explosive new enthusiasm for percussion music old and new.” – The New York Times

“If percussionists are, as proclaimed elsewhere, the new princes of the realm of virtuosity, then these four wear the crown with panache.” – The Financial Times

“hypnotically beautiful.” – BBC Radio
