Korean composer and multi-instrumentalist Park Jiha will give a concert tour in Belgium this year.

Playing with different atmospheres in which ambient sounds and minimal stillness contrast with intense bursts of sound, her music is akin to neoclassical composers such as Nils Frahm.

With her use of traditional Korean instruments such as the Saenghwang, the Piri and the Yanggeum she creates a dreamy world filled with a new, emotional language full of unconventional sounds, images and beauty.

She will perform in three double-bill concerts with Scottish “smallpipe” player Brìghde Chaimbeul who won the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award in 2016. Afterwards she was nominated in the ‘Up and Coming’ category at the Scots Trad Music Awards in 2017, and in 2019, she won the BBC Radio 2 Horizon Awards. She also received numerous enthusiastic reviews for her album ‘The Reeling’.
