Fortas Chamber Music Concerts: Dawn Upshaw and Sō Percussion

April 5, 20187:30pm

Five-time Grammy(r)-winning soprano Dawn Upshaw is joined by the “consummate skill and quirky charm” (The New York Times) of So Percussion, today’s leading percussion ensemble. This contemporary pairing brings an exciting freshness to our season with an evening that includes a brand new work by Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Caroline Shaw, created specifically for Upshaw and So Percussion through the commissioning consortium Music Accord. The Kennedy Center is a proud member of this innovative organization that connects composers and artists with the goal of creating new work.

Babe the blue OX and the Schickele Family Denim Review

Sō Laboratories (Our Home In Brooklyn!)
20 Grand Avenue, #205, Brooklyn, New York 11205

Apparently this band has been making new music for 35 years and didn’t bother to tell many people. Why ruin it? Rose, Eddie, Hanna, Tim, Squiggy, Lemmy, Alfalfa they’ll all be there, with brand new ways to cut in song in pieces. Tell Everyone! Cuz it’s free (donation suggested) and there’s a fridge of beer and seltzer!
