With Akiho guiding the vision, the music piece is more than a concert with integrating stage director Michael McQuilken's colorful lighting effects and stage design, adding up to a tightly choreographed multicolored dance of light and sound.

The journey of Seven Pillars began eight years ago in 2013 and culminated in a world premiere of the entire suite by Sandbox Percussion at Emerald City Music in Seattle on Dec 3, 2021. The 2021 album, Seven Pillars, was nominated for two Grammy Awards.
