String Theory to host Sandbox Percussion for virtual event

On Tuesday, Jan. 19, String Theory at the Hunter, in partnership with Lee University and the Hunter Museum of American Art, will host “No Strings Attached!” a virtual event allowing audience members to experience behind-the-scenes conversations and impromptu performances with Sandbox Percussion.

String Theory was founded in 2009 by artistic director and pianist Gloria Chien to expose new audiences to chamber music, invigorate the local classical music scene, and cultivate a future generation of music lovers.

“Our new twist on concerts offers an opportunity to get up close and personal with our favorite artists,” said Chien. “These informal social events on Zoom will give our audience members a chance to chat with guest artists and the rest of the String Theory family.”

Heralded by The Guardian as “...virtuosic and utterly mesmerizing,” members of the award-winning quartet Sandbox Percussion will give participants a special look at their life during COVID as friends and musicians.
