We said we were going to do it! And here they come, week after week. Nearly half of the videos that we made for our 25×25 Box Set are already out. You can watch everything we’ve released so far (got a few weeks/videos to go!) and every bit is free, the streaming, the videos, the good vibes.

But y’all let’s be real for one second. This all costs money. From the commissions, to the rehearsals, the schlepping of gear, the engineers and producers, the video artists, the amazing folks who perform alongside us and did we mention overhead and payroll taxes? We have productions staff, an incredibly utilitarian home loft studio in Brooklyn that we share for free with many and at super low rates with others. We run a Summer Festival (SōSI) where so many of our new heroes once attended. In a word, we stay busy.

If you don’t think we keep busy, maybe watch some of these? The rest are coming out every week for the foreseeable future!

Here’s Adam to tell you about the 8-CD 1LP 25×25.

Sō Wins Grammy for Rectangles and Circumstance!

Congratulations to Caroline Shaw and Sō Percussion—Eric Cha-Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski, and Jason Treuting—who won the GRAMMY Award for Best Chamber Music / Small Ensemble Performance, for their album Rectangles and Circumstance, at the 67th GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony held in Los Angeles today.

Rectangles and Circumstance comprises ten songs co-written and performed by the artists. Shaw and Cha-Beach and Sliwinski “sourced a group of nineteenth-century poems that shaped its expressive mode [and] ended up using verses by Christina Rosetti, Emily Brontë, Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, and William Blake,” says Sliwinski. “The lyrics on this album by members of the band contain wordplay that explores the same profound feelings explored by Blake and Dickinson.” Shaw and Sō co-produced the album with Grammy-winning engineer Jonathan Low (The National, Taylor Swift). Ringdown—Caroline Shaw’s duo with Danni Lee Parpan—is featured on the track “Slow Motion.” You can hear the album here.

Caroline Shaw’s two Nonesuch albums with Attacca QuartetEvergreen and Orange, previously won the Grammy for this category.

THIS ENSEMBLE HAS SET THE NEW YORK STANDARD FOR PERCUSSION INNOVATION.
