Yoona's Korean Traditional Music

The Ajaeng Concert is SOLD OUT! 

Yoona Kim performs Korean Traditional Music on Ajaeng (Korean bowed Zither) with Kyungsun Kim's accompaniment on Janggu (Percussion).

Yoona Kim is a ajaeng player, composer, and improviser from South Korea. She studied Korean Music and Musicology at the Seoul National University. She received her master and graduated diploma from New England Conservatory. Currently she is pursuing master degree at Berklee in Berklee Global Jazz Institute.

Her performances are deeply rooted in the richness of Korean court and folk music, juxtaposed with delicate noise, the soulful depths of traditional blues, and the dynamism of contemporary music. As a creative force, Yoona's evolving style weaves together the threads of tradition and innovation, forging a path that explores radical, non-linear temporalities. Her ajaeng stylings are both assertive and intuitive, honed over countless performances that have resonated with national and international audiences.
