SANDBOX PERCUSSION - ANDY AKIHO: SEVEN PILLARS

Tuesday, September 24, 7:30 PM

Wabash College Fine Arts Center
Salter Hall

Hailed by The New York Times as “a lush, brooding celebration of noise,” Andy Akiho’s GRAMMY-nominated Seven Pillars is his most ambitious project to date. The work is structured as a large-scale palindrome and consists of seven ensemble movements and one solo movement for each member of Sandbox Percussion. Michael McQuilken's lighting scheme reinforces the work's form throughout the theatrical live-performance. Performed by Sandbox, this evening-length work is the largest-scale chamber music work that Akiho has written and that Sandbox has commissioned. Akiho and Sandbox's ongoing collaboration for 'Seven Pillars' has spanned the past 8 years.
