ABOUT THE EVENT
This event will showcase the aesthetics of Korean pansori, a vocal tradition of story-singing, and explore the Korean conceptualization and practice of voicing. Sangah Lee will present excerpts from traditional repertoires and new vocal pieces created in collaboration with Korean-Canadian artists. This project aims to integrate traditional Korean music into the local musical landscape by hosting the first full pansori-focused concert in Toronto.
