Sejong Soloists presents the documentary feature film “Earl.” at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, at 7 PM. Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ty Kim, the film tells the story of American composer Earl Kim (1920-1998), of Korean descent. Earl's extraordinary life remains relevant today, spanning the worlds of classical music, education, politics, war, peace, human rights, and even weapons of mass destruction. Most of all, it highlights the power of music to change lives.
The event is a special screening with free admission, but advance registration is required.
