For two decades, Sō Percussion has revolutionized 21st-century chamber music, praised for blending precision with anarchy by The New Yorker. Admired for their live performances’ telepathic communication, they explore percussion’s vibrant repertoire. Their collaborations span classical, pop, indie rock, dance, and theater, expanding artistic boundaries.
Sō’s commitment to education fosters community engagement, showcasing the vast possibilities of contemporary art. Continuing their partnership with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw, they unveil a new song collection alongside Grammy-winning Narrow Sea and co-composed Let the Soil Play its Simple Part.

Join your friends in the Seeley G. Mudd Library in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the laying of the library building’s cornerstone!
Enjoy a tasty cupcake in honor of this occasion and toast a half century of knowledge and creativity!
What is a cornerstone? A cornerstone is traditionally the first stone laid in the foundation of a building. Today, cornerstones are symbolic stones laid during public events commemorating the construction of a building that frequently contain time capsules.
