This concert brings together performances from the Music of Korea and Intercultural Improvisation: Cultures in Musical Dialogue ensembles directed by CRS Crossing Boundaries co-founder and curator Dr. Gamin Kang, celebrating Korea’s rich musical heritage alongside cross-cultural creative practice. The program features traditional and contemporary works shaped by both historical roots and collaborative experimentation, with students performing on a diverse range of Korean instruments including gayageum (12-string zither), janggu (hourglass drum), danso (bamboo flute), as well as cross-cultural music ensemble. Repertoire includes beloved folk songs such as Arirang and Doraji, vibrant percussive traditions like Samulnori, and newly devised pieces created through an improvisation-based process. Embracing both tradition and innovation, the beauty of traditional folk music and cross-cultural creativity come together to shape each work organically, resulting in a dynamic musical dialogue and shared creativity across cultures.
