GRAMMY®-nominated Sandbox Percussion heads to Louisiana Tech University to perform an energetic recital on February 9th at 7pm.

Described as “exhilarating” by The New York Times and “utterly mesmerizing” by The Guardian, Sandbox Percussion champions living composers through its unwavering dedication to contemporary chamber music. In 2011, Jonathan Allen, Victor Caccese, Ian Rosenbaum, and Terry Sweeney were brought together by their love of contemporary music and interest in expanding the percussion repertoire; they have since captivated audiences around the world through visually and aurally stunning performances. Today, the foursome are established leaders in contemporary music for percussion, engaging a wider audience for classical music through multidisciplinary collaborations with leading composers and artists.

The ensemble boasts numerous accomplishments, including an appearance on NPR's Tiny Desk, recording percussion music for DreamWork's 2024 feature film The Wild Robot, and being the first percussion ensemble to win the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant.
