*Gayageum is a 12-stringed traditional Korean harp-type instrument.
Byung-Ki Hwang, gayageum master, began pioneering a new chapter in the world of gayageum by composing Korean classical music that was both creative but still faithful to the genre’s roots.
What aspects of the gayageum were fascinating enough to lead him into the world of Korean classical music?
What was the source of inspiration that allowed him to escape from the confines of tradition?
Hwang will share his music, life, and his ‘Gayageum Renaissance’ with us.
