KRONOS FESTIVAL
@ SFJAZZ CENTER / SF
FEATURED COMPOSER SOO YEON LYUH
4/7 – 4/9/22
David talks with Composer Soo Yeon Lyuh, a frequent collaborator with the Kronos Quartet, challenges the boundaries and expands the possibilities of Western music and instruments, through her own mastery of the haegeum (a two-stringed Korean bowed instrument) . A featured work in the Festival will be “Tattoo (Extended Version)”, her composition based on her experience of a random shooting incident in 2015.
Her compositions, instrumental techniques and collaborations can be described genre-defying, all with a social and cultural consciousness.
