ABOUT THE PIECE:
"Springs" (2016)
Springs, for percussion quartet exercises the ability of percussion to work up kinetic energy through pattern repetition and to ‘ spring’ into action.
Paul Lansky

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
With innovative multi-genre original productions, sensational interpretations of modern works, and an “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam,” (The New Yorker), Sō Percussion has redefined the scope and role of the modern percussion ensemble.
Their repertoire ranges from “classics” of the 20th century, by John Cage, Steve Reich, and Iannis Xenakis, et al, to commissioning and advocating works by contemporary composers such as David Lang, Steve Mackey, and Paul Lansky, to distinctively modern collaborations with artists who work outside the classical concert hall, including electronic duo Matmos, the groundbreaking Dan Deacon, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, choreographer Shen Wei, Bryce Dessner, and many others.
Sō Percussion also composes and performs their own works, ranging from standard concert pieces to immersive multi-genre programs - including Imaginary City, Where (we) Live, and their newest endeavor, A Gun Show, which will be performed throughout the current season, most notably in a multi-performance presentation as part of BAM’s 2016 Next Wave Festival.
Recent and upcoming highlights include an acclaimed Trilogy portrait at the 2016 Lincoln Center Festival; performances at Carnegie Hall with Shara Nova and Glenn Kotche, and for Steve Reich’s 80th birthday celebration; collaborations with Bryce Dessner at the Eaux Claires and Bonnaroo festival and elsewhere; touring dates throughout the United States; and much more.
Sō Percussion enthusiastically pursues a growing range of social and community outreach. Examples include their Brooklyn Bound presentations of younger composers; commitments to purchasing offsets to compensate for carbon-heavy activities such as touring travel; and leading their SōSI students in an annual food-packing drive, yielding up to 25,000 meals, for the Crisis Center of Mercer County through the organization EndHungerNE.
Sō Percussion is the Edward T. Cone Ensemble-in-Residence at Princeton University, where they offer educational work and present an annual series of concerts. They are also Co-Directors of the percussion department at the Bard College-Conservatory of Music, and run the annual Sō Percussion Summer Institute (SōSI), providing college-age composers and percussionists an immersive exposure to collaboration and project development.
Sō Percussion is Eric Cha-Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski, and Jason Treuting.
