The Sunderman Conservatory of Music at Gettysburg College welcomes Caroline Shaw and Sō Percussion to the Majestic Theater on October 17, 2025 at 8pm. In Sō's latest evening-length show, the ensemble provides a theatrical performance of songs by Caroline Shaw and Sō Percussion, featuring Ringdown. This collaboration is on the heels of their Grammy-Award winning collaboration, and mesmerizing collaboration with documentary film maker, Ken Burns. Spanning years of working together across several albums, the evening-length performance is a band-generated theatrical experience, featuring staging and design by Director Mark DeChiazza. The musicians gradually place lights and reveal novel instruments as the show builds from a lone spotlight on Shaw to the ecstatic full ensemble performing thrilling up-tempo songs like "Sing On" and "To the Sky," as films by Sō Percussion member Jason Treuting splash across canvases throughout the stage. This production melds DIY design with dazzling original songs, to sensational effect. This concert is free and open to the public, funded by the Sunderman Chamber Music Foundation, but tickets are required. Contact the Majestic Theater at www.gettysburgmajestic.org, 717-337-8200.
