Korean Court Music & World Premiere of "All the Noises in the

Thu, May 18

FREE with museum admission (only $5 after 5pm on Thursdays)

The Art Museum will present the world premiere of LOCAL pianist and
composer Hyo-shin Na's All the Noises in the World, a musical
arrangement inspired by an Inuit folktale of the same name. This
special concert features a blend of traditional Korean and
contemporary international music performed by the Korean ensemble
Jeong Ga Ak Hoe in their first U.S. appearance. Jeong Ga Ak Hoe will
also perform Young San Hoe Sang, a 45 minute-long piece, considered
by many to be the epitome of tranquil Korean court music.

Jeong Ga Ak Hoe commissioned Hyo-shin Na to write All the Noises in
the World, based on the poetic Inuit folktale. An excerpt reads:
"So, all the noises were there. These things happen. Falling-tree
noise was there. Falling-rock noise was there. Otter-mud-sliding
noise was there, All those noises, and more, in my house."
