Seven Pillars: Sandbox Percussion Plays Akiho

Southern Exposure’s free 2022-23 season opens with a theatrical new concert-length work of stunning power and transcendent beauty.
“Seven Pillars” is UofSC graduate Andy Akiho’s masterpiece and is on its way to becoming a landmark of 21st-century music. The monumental work for percussion quartet was a finalist for two Grammy Awards (Best Chamber Music / Small Ensemble Performance and Best Contemporary Classical Composition) and for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Music. Created during the pandemic with Akiho’s long-time collaborators, the astoundingly virtuosic Sandbox Percussion, “Seven Pillars” has been called a “lush, brooding celebration of noise” (New York Times).

This performance will be in the School of Music’s Recital Hall, 813 Assembly St., second floor.
