On June 30, Caramoor presents Sandbox Percussion, described as “exhilarating” by the New York Times and “virtuosic and utterly mesmerizing” by The Guardian. They perform Andy Akiho’s Grammy-nominated Seven Pillars – his most ambitious project to date. The evening-length work is the largest-scale chamber music work that Akiho has written and that Sandbox has commissioned, and their ongoing collaboration on the piece has spanned the past eight years. The work is structured as a large-scale palindrome and consists of seven ensemble movements and one solo movement for each member of Sandbox. Michael McQuilken’s lighting scheme reinforces the work’s form throughout the theatrical live performance. The evening includes a 7pm pre-concert talk with members of the ensemble.
