In celebration of their 25th year together as one of the most adventurous and influential percussion ensembles in contemporary music, Sō Percussion announces the release of 25x25. In keeping with the group's forward-looking mission, this 8-disc box set is not a retrospective; more characteristically, it's a stand-alone listening experience, featuring more than 8 hours of entirely new and previously unreleased recordings, with each piece written for, in collaboration with, and premiered by Sō Percussion. Over the last 25 years, the members of Sō — Jason Treuting, Adam Sliwinski, Josh Quillen, and Eric Cha-Beach — have been hailed for their gripping performances and wildly creative collaborations. Cantaloupe Music (the label launched by the Bang on a Can collective, which released Sō’s first-ever album in 2004), is pleased to offer this collection to longtime fans and newcomers alike. It's both a comprehensive portrait, and a forecasting of where contemporary chamber music is heading.
