Speaker: Kyoung Sun Cho, Geomungo, Seoul National Univ. of Educ. and Seungmi Suh, Daegeum, Gyeongin National Univ. of Educ.

This concert showcases two traditional Korean musical instruments, the Geomungo [guh-moon-go], a zither, played by plucking the silk strings on a long board with a bamboo pick, and the Daegeum [deh-gum], a bamboo flute with a reed that produces a unique timbre. Recording artists Professor Cho on Geomungo and Professor Suh on Daegeum will bring the classical music of Korea to this landmark venue. The audience will also have the opportunity to be inspired by the sights of Korean art in the DIA's Asian collection.

This concert is free and open to the public with admission to the DIA. Visit the DIA site for more information.
