Sandbox Percussion Andy Akiho: Seven Pillars

Hailed by The New York Times as “a lush, brooding celebration of noise,” Andy Akiho’s GRAMMY-nominated ‘Seven Pillars’ is his most ambitious project to date. A Pulitzer Prize in Music finalist, the work is structured as a large-scale palindrome and consists of seven ensemble movements and one solo movement for each member of Sandbox Percussion. Michael McQuilken’s lighting scheme reinforces the work’s form throughout the theatrical live-performance. This evening-length work is the largest-scale chamber music work that Akiho has written and Sandbox has commissioned.
