With pieces ranging from hypnotic to cacophonic, So Percussion is building a new canon of modern avant-garde percussion music.
Formed at Yale to breathe new life into contemporary classical percussion works by composers like John Cage, Brooklyn quartet So Percussion has continued to grow an impressive repertoire of original commissioned works and genre-bending collaborations.
Over the course of some 18 albums, and using a variety of head-turning instruments like tuned two-by-fours and an amplified cactus, So has presented commissioned pieces by Steve Reich, Bang on a Can’s David Lang, the National’s Bryce Dessner, and many others. Since 2009, So has sponsored the So Percussion Summer Institute at Princeton, a two-week seminar to mentor budding percussionists and composers.
