Sandbox Percussion live in New York

Experience Sandbox Percussion live on April 24th

Sandbox Percussion will perform at Buttenwieser Hall within the 92nd Street Y in New York City on April 24, 2027. The ensemble is known for its innovative and virtuosic percussion performances, frequently incorporating amplified instruments, found objects, and a blend of contemporary classical music with influences from minimalism and post-rock. Their work often explores texture, timbre, and rhythmic complexity, moving beyond traditional percussion ensembles to create immersive sonic experiences. They are also recognized for their commitment to commissioning new works and collaborating with composers.

Buttenwieser Hall is the primary concert hall within the 92nd Street Y, a renowned cultural and community center established in 1874. Originally founded as a settlement house to serve immigrant communities, the 92nd Street Y has evolved into a significant venue for performing arts, lectures, and educational programs. Buttenwieser Hall itself underwent a substantial renovation completed in 2018 which improved acoustics and accessibility. The hall is known for its intimate setting – seating approximately 880 people – and its history of hosting prominent musicians across various genres including classical, jazz, and world music.
