Come celebrate Korean heritage as you listen to members of the Soyul Gayageum Orchestra share the beautiful sounds of the traditional Korean instrument the Gayageum.
The Gayageum is a traditional Korean string instrument that holds a significant place in Korean music and culture. It's a type of zither, which means it's a stringed instrument with strings stretched across a flat, wooden soundboard.
Founded in 2008, Soyul Gayageum Orchestra consists of around thirty members from elementary students to adults. They regularly hold performances and play at various concerts and festivals to introduce the Korean traditional instrument, Gayageum, and the beauty of its sound to the mainstream media. They also received awards from many competitions, such as New York Korean Traditional Music Competition, Korean Traditional
Music and Art Competition and the World Competition of Korean Traditional Performing Arts. They also had the honor of performing at Carnegie Hall in 2022.
This Be the Change Series program is being held in conjunction with Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
