About

Sandbox Percussion, Steven Schick, and local community percussionists

In partnership with UC San Diego Professor Steven Schick and Red Fish Blue Fish, the percussion ensemble presents the West Coast premiereTHE JUMP UP!, a site-specific piece shaped to accommodate the specific topography and features of its location. All the musicians will move through the space during the piece, first offering the audience a wide panoramic perspective that gradually gathers towards the audience as the performance goes on. At the finale, the players merge into the audience, who will be invited to join into the musical fabric by clapping or vocalizing (as instructed on the fly by Sandbox Percussion) to form a single communal orchestra. Described as “exhilarating” by the New York Times, the GRAMMY-nominated ensemble Sandbox Percussion champions living composers through its unwavering dedication to contemporary chamber music. Presented as part of La Jolla Playhouse’s WOW Festival.
