Taking Note - Sandbox Percussion

After meeting in graduate school in 2011, members Terry Sweeney, Jonny Allen, Victor Caccese, and Ian Rosenbaum created Sandbox Percussion. The chamber percussion group chose their name as a reference to a playful and dedicated space for creativity. Using a diverse range of instruments including homemade steel pipes, the group performs “Pillar V” by contemporary composer Andy Akiho.
