Friday 13 November 19:00 | YouTube (Free)

Four incredible artists come together in a stunning performance that displays the true roots of Korean music.

Joining previous K-Music performers Woojae Park and Park Jiha are the gayageum performers Kyungso Park and Soona Park. Rarely seen on stage together, this exciting collaboration was performed and recorded at the 2020 Yeowoorak Festival.

Woojae Park continues to expand the performance boundaries of the geomungo (six-stringed Korean zither instrument), he previously performed at the 2017 K-Music Festival having also worked with artists including Soumik Datta, and the choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui for Fractus V, which played at Sadler’s Wells and toured worldwide.

Multi-instrumentalist Park Jiha is beloved, not only in Korea but worldwide. She has seen success in the UK, initially in 2015 with her work with SU:M as well as with her Glitterbeat releases Communion and Philos which were performed at the 2017 and 2019 K-Music Festivals.
