Okkyung Lee presents 'gyeol'
Cellist and composer Okkyung Lee presents gyeol, a new piece that expands the distinctive language of her practice. Interweaving Korean traditional instrumentation, melodic expression, experimental improvisation and avant-garde composition, Lee creates a sound world that resists categorization. A vital, present force in the contemporary global landscape of experimental music, she is renowned for her works of remarkable instrumental sensitivity, rigorous formal intelligence and visceral emotiveness. For this new project, these qualities converge, giving birth to a completely new and unheard performance.
