Pacific Rim Music Festival Ensemble Korea is formed for the Pacific Rim Music Festival 2017. The Ensemble consists of Piri, Daegeum, Gayageum, Geomungo, Haegeum, Ajaeng, Sanghwang, and percussion. All the members are the master performers in the field. The performers are trained in the traditional music and contemporary music. Their natural ability to move freely from one genre to the other shows the two are not as unrelated as they seem. The Festival events will showcase the flowering of the new genre arising out of the two.
