This concert by Sō Percussion (Josh Quillen, Jason Treuting, Eric Cha-Beach and Adam Sliwinski) includes Steve Reich’s Music for Pieces of Wood and two more recent works written for the quartet: Caroline Shaw’s Taxidermy, for flower pots and speaking, and Vijay Iyer’s Torque, a virtuosic mallet quartet for two vibraphones and two marimbas. The quartet will also play member Jason Treuting’s amid the noise, a communal music-making project that can occur with a flexible number of musicians in almost any combination.
The concert is preceded at 7 pm by a Talk with Sō Percussion, moderated by Dartmouth Fellow Victoria Aschheim
