Goodwin ForumMain Library129 Main Street, Concord, MA, 01742
Meet the members of GRAMMY Award winning Sō Percussion! This electrifying ensemble will give insights into their instruments, the repertoire they play, the composers they work with, and what life is like for one of the most successful and active percussion quartets in the US. This special event is being presented as a collaboration between Concord Chamber Music Society (CCMS) and the Concord Public Library. Sō Percussion will present a full concert for CCMS on November 23, 2025, 3 pm, at the Maxwell Auditorium at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library in Lexington.
For 25 years, Grammy-winning percussion quartet Sō Percussion has redefined chamber music for the 21st century through an “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker). They are celebrated by audiences and presenters for a dazzling range of work: for live performances in which “telepathic powers of communication” (The New York Times) bring to life the 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 immense possibility of art in our time. Their commitment to the creation and amplification of new work, and their extraordinary powers of perception and communication have made them a trusted partner for composers, allowing the writing of music that expands the style and capacity of brilliant voices of our time.
The members of Sō Percussion are the Edward T. Cone Performers-in-Residence at Princeton University. Rooted in the belief that music is an elemental form of human communication, and galvanized by forces for social change, Sō enthusiastically pursues a range of social and community outreach through their nonprofit umbrella, including an ongoing partnership with Pan in Motion; the Sō Laboratories concert series; a studio residency program in Brooklyn; and the Sō Percussion Summer Institute, an intensive two-week chamber music seminar for percussionists and composers.
Sō Percussion is Jason Treuting, Adam Sliwinski, Josh Quillen, and Eric Cha-Beach.
