Fresh from their 2025 Grammy win for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance, So Percussion will appear with the Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) at concerts the weekend of March 8-9 at Richardson Auditorium.

The ensemble will perform Viet Cuong’s concerto for percussion quartet, Re(new)al. Music Director Rossen Milanov conducts the program which includes Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 “Pastoral,” and Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances.

“I’m excited to perform with Sō Percussion as they are a fearless ensemble, musically gifted and always seeking to push artistic boundaries with new techniques and sound experimentation,” said Milanov.

Sō Percussion are celebrated for live performances which bring to life the percussion repertoire; for collaborations in classical music, pop, indie rock, contemporary dance, and theater; and for their work in education and community. Committed to the creation and amplification of new work, So’s collaborative composition partners include David Lang, Julia Wolfe, Nathalie Joachim, Dan Trueman, and Kendall K. Williams, among others.

This season, Sō and Caroline Shaw (as well as Ringdown, Shaw’s duo) perform a program highlighting their 2025 Grammy Award-winning album, Rectangles and Circumstance, at East Coast venues and in Europe. Sō Percussion are Princeton University’s Edward T. Cone performers-in-residence.

Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances showcases dance styles with cultural significance to Black American communities, and Viet Cuong’s Re(new)al is inspired by the power of hydro, wind, and solar energies.

Sunday’s concert includes a 3 p.m. pre-concert talk hosted by Milanov. The talk is free to ticket holders with general seating in Richardson Auditorium.
