The Young Korean Artists Series began as a continuous partnership between the Korean Cultural Center New York and the CJ Cultural Foundation in 2022. The Series aims to discover and support a new generation of Korean artists across different artistic genres. Firmly believing that the growth of emerging artists is essential to contributing to the cultural landscape, the program will nurture Korean artists based in New York to pave their way to the international stage.
This year, we present Jisu Jung & Baroque in Blue.
Baroque in Blue consists of piano, saxophone, cello, viola, and drums. The group breaks the boundaries between jazz and classical music, expressing their unique musical language in a more dynamic and sophisticated way.
The Korean Cultural Center New York and CJ Cultural Foundation will continue to support various young, emerging artists in sharing their work at the newly opened Korean Cultural Center New York. Please join us in our ongoing efforts to empower artists in pursuing their dreams.
