Crossing Boundaries Vol. 16: FOCUSING ON HER

Saturday, December 10, 2022
7 – 8:30PM

CRS and Tenri Cultural Institute of NY present Crossing Boundaries Concert Series Vol. 16: FOCUSING ON HER. The program features three AAPI female musicians — Amirtha Kidambi (Indian-American, voice/saxophone), Yoko Reikano Kimura (Japan, shamisen), and gamin (Korea, saenghwang) — improvising and performing music by female composers: Amirtha Kidambi (Indian-American), Yoko Sato (Japan), and Yoon-Ji Lee (Korea), with visual projection designed by Bang Geul Han (Korea). Each of the compositions is a prayer or elegy for those who endure or have endured trauma.

Curated by multi-Instrumentalist gamin, this fifth season of Crossing Boundaries consists of three concerts exploring the theme of WOMEN IN MUSIC performed by female and female-identifying musicians. Following the performance there will be a conversation with the audience about the concert and the theme of gender liberation in the music industry.
