Sandbox Percussion Featured on KMTV, Nebraska

Sandbox Percussion, which the New York Times has called “exhilarating” and the Guardian “utterly mesmerizing,” appeared at KANEKO, in Omaha, to perform brand-new music by Andy Akiho, who joined the quartet on steelpan.

For this new piece, as a quintet, they're building on the success of their Grammy-nominated and Pulitzer Prize-finalist work Seven Pillars, which has captivated audiences across 40+ performances worldwide, from Paris to Beijing.

The performance gave Omaha audiences the first glimpse into their new project, brought to life at KANEKO, whose unique creative environment is shaping the new piece. The event was previewed by KMTV 3 News Now.

"A lot of the sounds we're making on these instruments are ones that you wouldn't always necessarily hear. We have some wooden sticks on a vibraphone," Victor Caccese, from Sandbox Percussion, said.
