Prepare to embark on a thrilling auditory journey as two of the most groundbreaking forces in contemporary music join forces for a one-of-a-kind performance. Join Grammy Award-winning composer Caroline Shaw and the trailblazing percussion ensemble Sō Percussion for an evening of genre-defying sounds that blend classical, experimental, and rhythmic mastery.

Caroline Shaw, renowned for her inventive approach to composition, teams up with Sō Percussion, a group celebrated for their captivating live performances and avant-garde sensibility. Together, they’ll bring Shaw’s innovative works to life in an intimate, electrifying concert experience.

Expect the unexpected: from lush, haunting vocal textures to pulse-pounding percussion and boundary-pushing musical landscapes, dissolving the boundaries between classical and pop, and drawing inspiration from sources as varied as James Joyce, ABBA, American roots music, and Christian hymns. Whether you're a longtime fan of contemporary music or simply curious about the cutting edge of sound, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
