The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA) and Ji, Yun Ja Gayageum Korean Traditional Intangible Cultural Center will present a special performance, Tradition and Now, on Friday, July 26, 2019 at 7:30p.m. on the 3rd floor of the Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles in the Ari Hall. The concert will also feature fusion Gugak(Korean traditional music) performances by popular musical artists Ji, Yun Ja Gayageum Korean Traditional Intangible Cultural Center, Lee, Hansol, Ji, Hyunsoo, and Rami Seo's World Music Ensemble.

The concert consists of two parts. The first part of the concert starts with a gayageum ensemble and continues on with traditional Korean dances like Taepyeong-moo and Korean folk dance. It also includes a remarkable performance called Imyeong choreographed and danced by Hansol Lee. Imyeong in Korean translates to the painful ringing in the ears, but if the sound moves our minds, Imyeong can become our inner voice. Hansol Lee says, If we could retranslate Imyeong into a dance, the sounds can be interpreted as a beautiful sound that moves our body.

The second part of the concert starts with a solo gayageum performance by Ji, Yun Ja, and continues on with a fusion Gugak by Hyunsoo Ji and Rami Seo. An unusual but amazing ensemble of keyboards, flamingo guitar, gayageum, and saxophone will undoubtably move the hearts of the audience.

Admission is free, and reservations can be made online or over the phone.
