DAORUM is a phenomenon, a meeting of old and new, of East and West, a groundbreaking musical project creating an exciting high-energy cultural exchange. The musicians of DAORUM create what Living Arts Korea has described as a “utopian anthem”. For this U.S. debut, Simon Barker, one of Australia’s greatest jazz drummers, leads Australian musicians—Carl Dewhurst, guitar, Matt McMahon, piano, and Phil Slater, trumpet—and renowned Korean Pansori artist Bae Il Dong and percussionist Kim Dong Won, in a free concert at the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center as part of Target®Free Thursdays.

The free concert by renowned Korean and Western artists is preceded on March 22 by the free screening of the film Intangible Asset Number 82 which will be its U.S. premiere. In 2005, Barker traveled to Korea to explore traditional music. During his incredible journey he met with some of Korea’s greatest musicians including the late Kim Seok Chul, a Grand Master of Shaman music. Filmmaker Emma Franz documented this journey of discovery in this acclaimed documentary film. After the screening of the film, there will be a panel discussion with director Emma Franz and featured artists Simon Barker and Bae Il Dong.

Admission is free, but seating is very limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
