Caroline Shaw & So Percussion

  • Events

The percussion ensemble So Percussion and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw are crossing the Atlantic Ocean to present their album, Rectangles and Circumstance. Shaw has drawn inspiration from 19th-century poems by Christina Rosetti, Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein and William Blake. The album is a follow-up to their Grammy Award-winning debut Narrow Sea and Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part, both released in 2021. The ensemble will play music from the latter album as well, while Shaw herself will provide the vocals. She closes the concert by inviting singer-songwriter Danni Lee on stage. Lee is not only Shaw’s musical partner in the duo Ringdown but also her life partner.
