Early percussion composers like John Cage imagined a world of “organized sound,” where music consisted of more than just keyboard tones. For SōSI 2017, we will dig back into those first steps towards the modern percussion ensemble. Immerse yourself in the radical ideas that started it all!
For the first time, we are offering the chance to audit seminars at SōSI. For either a daily, weekly, or full festival pass, auditors can observe rehearsals, attend lectures, and interact with our faculty and participants.
The program is $250 for the entire 2 weeks, $125 per week, or just $25 a day, Contact Sō’s Yumi Tamashiro to learn more or to reserve a spot!
