“An audaciously uninhibited approach to music-making.” —New York Times

Straddling the worlds of classical and pop music, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw composes radiantly exploratory music. She joins forces with the Sō Percussion quartet for an evening of transcendent rhythm and vocals drawn from their collaborative albums Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part (2021) and Rectangles and Circumstance (2024). With inspirations from Emily Dickinson to ABBA, these songs journey between tightly crafted orchestrations and inspired spontaneity, creating a sonic world that feels fresh and ecstatic.

Copresented with Schubert Club Mix.

Part of Twin Cities Art Week.
