Seven Pillars with Texas Performing Arts

The boldly genre-defying audio and video collaboration consists of seven ensemble movements and one solo movement for each member of Sandbox. With a striking lighting scheme by Michael Joseph McQuilken, Seven Pillars is the largest-scale chamber music work that Akiho has written and that Sandbox has commissioned, with their collaboration spanning the past eight years.

The 80-minute, 11-part work has a palindromic structure, with the “pillars”, all written for more than one musician, interspersed with four solos.
