Sō Percussion with Caroline Shaw in concert at Memorial Chapel
Sō Percussion with Caroline Shaw will kick off Lawrence University's 2024-25 Performing Arts Series on Oct. 18.
The performance, at 7:30 p.m. in Lawrence Memorial Chapel, features Eric Cha-Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski, and Jason Treuting with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw.
Sō Percussion has redefined chamber music for the 21st century over the past two decades. The ensemble brings to life a vibrant percussion repertoire-for an extravagant array of collaborations in classical music, pop, indie rock, contemporary dance, and theater, and for their work in education and community, creating opportunities and platforms for music and artists that explore the possibilities of art.
Sō continues its collaboration with Shaw with a new collection of songs. The new songs will be featured alongside music from 2020's Grammy Award-winning song cycle Narrow Sea, and the co-composed album of songs Let the Soil Play its Simple Part.
This is the first performance in Lawrence's 2024-25 Performing Arts Series, which will feature music ranging from chamber music to jazz and will include a return performance on April 4, 2025, from the two-time Grammy Award-winning Roomful of Teeth, which features Lawrence voice professor Estelí Gomez.Tickets for Memorial Chapel performances are $30/adults, $25/seniors; tickets for Harper Hall performances are $15/adults, $10/seniors; all are free for students with a school ID.
