Spectacular percussion dialogues, shamanic chants and acrobatic dances! Korea’s Noreum Machi troupe has been noted for its performances of the samulnori percussion music that has captivated audiences throughout the world over the past three decades. An exhilarating modern adaptation of the ancient p’ungmul nori farmers ritual, samulnori represents the soul of Korea and helped re-engage Koreans with their traditions. The group is led by Kim Juhong, who studied with Kim Duk Soo, an original member of Samul-Nori.

Flushing Town Hall offers pre-show workshop. Participants of all ages will enjoy a fun, hands-on introduction to Korean rhythms, instruments, music and movement facilitated by performers from Noreum Machi.

“The rhythms and sounds ignited the entire audience.” -Yeonhap News
