Kristin Lee And Sandbox Percussion – The Spieker Center For The Arts, Atherton

About this event

This concert is presented by Music@Menlo as part of its 2026 season at the Spieker Center on the campus of Menlo School in Atherton, California. The program brings together violinist Kristin Lee and the percussion ensemble Sandbox Percussion—Music@Menlo's Ensemble-in-Residence—for a curated evening of contemporary chamber works, spotlighting three world-premiere or U.S.-premiere commissions. The program opens with Joan Tower's "To Sing or to Dance," continues with Gabriella Smith's "FIVE," and closes with a new work by Vivian Fung, in a format that pairs solo violin with percussion quartet in an exploration of texture, timbre, and spatial staging.
