Andy Akiho's Seven Pillars is music to audience's ears

On Oct 11, composer Andy Akiho and Sandbox Percussion presented the composer's Seven Pillars, a trailblazing work that redefines how one listens to and experiences music, at the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing.

According to the composer, Seven Pillars, commissioned by and dedicated to Sandbox Percussion, is an 80-minute, 11-movement suite for percussion comprising seven quartets surrounding four solos that reflect the personality of each performer.
