CelloGayageum: where Western classical meets Korean tradition
Details
Founded in 2016 by Austrian cellist Sol Daniel Kim and Korean gayageum (12-string zither) virtuoso Dayoung Yoon, the award-winning CelloGayageum duo melds Western classical music with Korean traditional music. All their pieces are original and written by the two artists. I've watched their videos and been impressed by both the music and the musicians' dramatic flair and physicality!
SHOW COST : $39.00 per person until the day of the concert, when costs go up by $5.00
