Chimera – Premiere!
October 11, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$6Chimera – a mythical beast combining different animal parts into something monstrous – is the title of my new work for haegeum and cello. It’s my third chamber work combining gugak instruments, from traditional Korean music, with Western instruments. I composed it for two superstars – Soo Yeon Lyuh and Ashley Bathgate – and it’s become the cornerstone of a new repertory, as they have recruited more composers to the cause. This concert will mark the premieres of five new works, including Chimera, and I’m thrilled that it’s taking place at the Freer Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, which focuses on Asian art.
