“An expression of North Korean folk music into today’s sentiments” “A contemporary interpretation of the spirit of Hwanghae-do (the western provinces of North Korea)” Akdan Gwangchil In celebration of 70 years of Korea’s liberation, JGAH aims to express the true meaning of liberation and South Korea’s desire to be one. In order to accomplish this, JGAH has formed a program using primarily songs from the northern regions of Korea. While for the past few years JGAH’s works have centered on southern music styles including pansori, the works presented in this concert originate largely from the western provinces of Korea.

Admission is free, but RSVP is required.
