Korean Traditional Music and “Change”

Artists: The Sounds of Korea & VinaLog

Recently Korean traditional musicians have become involved in seeking “new” artistic sounds and forms reinterpreting existing traditional forms to communicate with modern audience. Such “newness” has not abandoned the old, but continues to embrace Korea’s musical tradition and its musical heritage.

Korean Traditional Music and “Change” concert will bring traditional and new music together and provide the audience a great opportunity to hear firsthand now traditional music and musicians have evolved in their art. The highlight of the evening will be new compositions that combine traditional elements and instruments with stylistic influences from the Western classical and jazz tradition.

Free admission. For further information, call the Concert Office at (212) 817-8607.
