What's Interesting

Sō Percussion takes the CSO stage after a provocative performance at the 2015 MusicNOW Festival.
Known for using uncommon items as instruments, Sō Percussion performs a suite from Lully’s comedy-ballet and moves through the breakage of David Lang’s man made.
Louis Langrée and the CSO set out to create the music of the future with a world premiere by Sebastian Currier.

What Critics Are Saying

"Through a mix of consummate skill and quirky charm, this mercurial quartet [Sō Percussion] has helped to ignite an explosive new enthusiasm for percussion music old and new."

—The New York Times

“If percussionists are, as proclaimed elsewhere, the new princes of the realm of virtuosity, then these four young, steel-wristed, Brooklyn-based Yale graduates [of Sō Percussion] wear the crown with panache.”

—The Financial Times
