Sandbox Percussion & Andy Akiho, steel pans

Overview

Building on the tremendous success of their collaboration on the Grammy-nominated and Pulitzer Prize finalist work Seven Pillars, Grammy-nominated composer Andy Akiho and the internationally acclaimed Sandbox Percussion present a new work that further pushes the boundaries of contemporary chamber music.

Akiho has earned international acclaim for large-scale works that emphasize the natural theatricality of live performance. Developed over two residencies at Omaha’s creativity incubator KANEKO, the exhilarating, boundary-pushing new work – a 92NY co-commission – presents the composer performing on steel pan alongside the ensemble.

This concert is the second of two Sandbox Percussion concerts this season featuring the music of Andy Akiho.

Online streaming also available for 72 hours following the performance.
