Sandbox Percussion: Seven Pillars
Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts
Thursday, April 3⋅7:30 – 9:00pm - Free Admission

Appalachian State University's Hayes School of Music will host an immersive, theatrical percussion performance by Sandbox Percussion of their piece Seven Pillars, coming to the Schaefer Center on Thursday, April 3 at 7:30pm! Thanks to sponsorship from the Hayes Circle Fund, this performance is free for the public to attend. No tickets are needed. App State percussion students will experience a masterclass with the performers in the afternoon.

Hailed by The New York Times as “a lush, brooding celebration of noise,” Andy Akiho’s GRAMMY-nominated Seven Pillars is his most ambitious project to date. The work is structured as a large-scale palindrome and consists of seven ensemble movements and one solo movement for each member of Sandbox Percussion. Michael McQuilken's lighting scheme reinforces the work's form throughout the theatrical live-performance.
