Seattle Modern Orchestra: Ha-Yang Kim – the day is burnt, the night is calm [LIVE]

Ha-Yang Kim – the day is burnt, the night is calm (world premiere)
Additional works TBA

Our fourth concert, also a live broadcast from Town Hall Seattle, features the local multifaceted cellist, composer, and improvisor, Ha-Yang Kim. Kim creates her own music based on a unique musical language of extended string techniques she developed. Her musical influences draw equally from a range of western classical music, American experimentalism, rock, jazz and improvised music, to non-western musical sources. The new work, composed for violin, viola, cello, bass, harp, and electric guitar, explores the sonic wonderland of microtuning.

The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Pacific. Broadcasting live from Town Hall, Seattle, WA.

Ticket receipt will include the link and passcode to the Crowdcast Digital Stage for this performance.
