Kim/ Kang/ Cho - Korean Tapestry

A love for vocal music has maintained it's presence throughout Korea's turbulent history, and Ga-Gok or 'Art Song' has long offered opportunities to convey personal sentiments and messages through lyrical settings of the nation's poetry. Today's often deeply expressive Korean art songs uniquely combine traditional Korean/Asian musical elements within the structure of Western music. They feature the finest examples of solo and duet songs by leading Korean female composers, thus providing new insights into Korean society and it's modern musical culture.
