[NEohioPAL] World Tour of Music: Jin Hi Kim, Komungo Virtuoso, April 13, 8 pm

[Thomas Sigel]

ORMACO, in collaboration with the Akron-Summit County Public Library,
presents Jin Hi Kim, innovative komungo virtuoso and Guggenheim Fellow
composer on April 13, 2019 at 8 pm at the Akron-Summit Public Library Main
Branch Auditorium, 60 South Main Street in downtown Akron. Kim has
performed as a soloist in her own compositions at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln
Center, Kennedy Center, Smithsonian Freer Gallery of Art, Asia Society,
Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), Royal Festival Hall (London) and
around the world.

She is known as a pioneer for introducing komungo (geomungo) to American
contemporary music scene and for extensive solo performances on the world’s
only electric komungo with live interactive MIDI computer system in her
large-scale multimedia performance pieces. She has developed her
compositional concept “Living Tones” emerging from Korean traditional music
in cross-cultural chamber and orchestral compositions. The New York Times
wrote, “…virtuoso, Jin Hi Kim promises thoughtful, shimmering East-West
amalgams in combinations that are both new and unlikely to be repeated.”

Kim will be joined by students from Fairlawn-Copley High School in an
evening of both traditional Korean komungo music, and innovative
cross-cultural pieces.

This is an evening not to be missed!

The concert is free, but seating is limited. For more information call
330-722-2541.
