TOArts and The City of Thousand Oaks Cultural and Community Services Department present a FREE concert at The Grant R. Brimhall Library
(Thousand Oaks, CA)- CelloGayageum bridges Western classical cello with the mesmerizing elegance of the traditional Korean gayageum on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 7:00 pm at the Grant R. Brimhall Library.
Founded by Austrian cellist Sol Daniel Kim and Korean gayageum virtuoso Dayoung Yoon, CelloGayageum is not just a musical duo but a phenomenon. The group’s unique fusion of instruments and musical styles creates a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. By showcasing the beauty and richness of South Korean music to audiences around the world, CelloGayageum is redefining what it means to be a global musical act.
The co-existence of the West and the Far East, which is also reflected by the musical and cultural background of both artists, acts like a catalyst and enables the musicians to discover new ways to make and create music. Kim and Yoon are constantly searching and experimenting with the goal of combining the characteristics of their respective musical cultures and instruments, finding the right balance and forming a harmonic symbiosis in sound and style.
It is their goal and passion to not only perform music to a broad audience but also serve as cultural ambassadors presenting the traditional music culture of South Korea to the whole world.
All their pieces are original and written by the two artists.
This is a free event. Seating will be open and available on a first come first served basis. For more information call 805-449-2787 or visit www.bapacthousandoaks.com
