Sō Percussion returns to Richardson Auditorium after their performance at Carnegie Hall on January 23. In this program of premieres by leading American musical innovators, the ensemble celebrates the bi-directional impact of popular genres like jazz, tap, hip-hop, rock, and disco on concert music and experimental composition. Bryce Dessner (The National) reintroduces the electric guitar-like “chord stick” that he invented for Sō Percussion. Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw writes a new percussion quartet, the next chapter in a multiple Grammy-winning collaboration that includes 2025’s Best Chamber Music / Small Ensemble Performance. Michael J. Love’s virtuosic tap dance transforms the group into an interdisciplinary percussion quintet. Kendall K. Williams imports Trinidad and Tobago’s high-octane “Panorama” style for a new quartet with marimbas and vibraphone.PerformersSō Percussion- Eric Cha-Beach- Josh Quillen- Adam Sliwinski- Jason TreutingMichael J.
