New York Korean Performing Arts Center, Inc. | Friday, July 14, 2017 at 6:15pm
Sounds of Korea is part of the New York-based Korean Performing Arts Center (KPAC), consisting of a dance troupe, an instrumental chamber ensemble, and a percussion ensemble. Korean performance tradition includes a wide range of styles and settings, such as classical court music, theatrical masked dance, popular storytelling songs, narrative vocal arts, percussion, and solo instrumental folk genres. The group’s artistic emphasis is on the subtle grace and beauty found in Korean traditional dances in which the dancers with powerful, yet delicate, gestures and movements reveal a unique aesthetic beauty. The dance troupe was founded by Sue Yeon Park in 1993, and has maintained an active schedule over the past 20 years, performing prestigious national museums and festival stages, including Lincoln Center, introducing Korean music and dance to a wide array of audiences of diverse cultural backgrounds.
