East Meets East: A Concert of Traditional East Asian Music
Enjoy an afternoon filled with music from East Asia as zithers from China and Korea are featured in a selection of traditional musical instruments. This concert will showcase the virtuosity of recording artists Dr. Kyoung Sun Cho (Seoul National University of Education) on the geomungo, Dr. Yuening Liu (Central Conservatory of Music, Beijing) on the yangqin, and Seungmi Suh, on the daegeum. Presented by the Nam Center for Korean Studies.
The geomungo [guh-moon-go] is an ancient Korean zither, played by plucking the silk strings on a long board with a bamboo pick. A Chinese dulcimer, the yangqin [yang-chin] is a stringed instrument played by striking the silk or metal strings with bamboo hammers. Also from Korea, the daegeum [deh-gum] is a bamboo flute with a reed membrane that produces a unique timbre.
