Sō Percussion, Princeton's Performers-in-residence, invite you to join as student musicians participate in two large works by Julius Eastman: Stay on It and Gay Guerrilla. These sprawling and electrifying works of 1970s minimalism involve groove, improvisation, and creative decision-making. Sō is: Eric Cha-Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski, and Jason Treuting For twenty years and counting, Sō Percussion has redefined chamber music for the 21st century through an “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam” (The New Yorker). They are celebrated by audiences and presenters for a dazzling range of work: for live performances in which “telepathic powers of communication” (The New York Times) bring to life the vibrant percussion repertoire; for an extravagant array of collaborations in classical music, pop, indie rock, contemporary dance, and theater; and for their work in education and community, creating opportunities and platforms for music and artist ....
