Daily Meeting

Each day will start with a brief session getting us all on the same page. We’ll talk about objectives for the day and share some info about our guest presenter so people can feel prepared.
Four Corners of Sandbox Part 2
12:15pm – 1:15pm EDT
This is the second part of our four-part series. Today, your group will meet with a second member of Sandbox who will explain what it is they do within the context of Sandbox’s organization. These skills are not unique to playing in a quartet, and they should be helpful to you as you begin to forge your own unique career.
Small Group Session #3
1:15pm – 2:30pm EDT
This is day three of these sessions. Now, you may have decided on a composer to commission and some of the wishes you have for the piece. The rest of the program may also be taking shape, and you can start thinking about how you’ll verbally communicate the significance of these pieces to an audience.
Kristin Lee Presentation
3:30pm – 4:30pm EDT
Kristin Lee is a 21st century artist; she has built a career that allows her to perform, program, and teach at the highest level with respective positions at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, as Artistic Director at Emerald City Music, and recently as violin faculty at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. We’ll have the privilege of hearing her recipe for success in so many areas.
Seven Pillars: A First Listen
5:00pm – 6:00pm EDT
Sandbox’s most significant project to date has been the development of Seven Pillars, an 80-minute work for percussion quartet by Andy Akiho. Many of you may already know of Pillar IV, this is the central movement of the full work which contains six more quartets and four solos. During the pandemic, we decided to record the whole piece to be released later this year. We’d love to share some of those recordings with you and discuss the process of creating this work.
