World Music Lecture-Performance: Traditional Korean Music Performed by gamin and other guests

GAMIN is one of the most celebrated piri, taepyeongso (Korean traditional oboe family)
and saengwhang (ancient wind-blow instrument) performers in Korea today. From 2000 to 2010, she was a member and assistant principal player of the Contemporary Gukak Orchestra at the National Gukak Center, the hub for training and preserving Korean traditional music.

Solidly trained in jeongak, the classical court music, gamin also studied the techniques
of sinawi, the shaman ritual music. Due to her virtuosity, she can play from the very
authentic jeongak and sinawi to contemporary music with electronic sounds as well. The
music director of the National Changgeuk Company, YOO Young-Dae describes her
music as “free-spirited in restrain, delicate in bluntness, and sorrow in bliss.”
 
Interesting in creating her own music, she has released three albums. Her first
album, “Attraction” was made to popularize the piri to the general public.
The “Juxtaposition,” the second, explores the harmony between an oriental instrument,
the piri and western instrument marimba. The third album, “Progression” contains
more progressive contemporary music that features a variety of instruments including
synthesizer.

This event will satisfy the World Music recital credit requirement for undergraduate Boyer students.
