SUMMARY:SE:UM
DESCRIPTION:The Port Theatre\, Korean Cultural Centre & the Nanaimo International Jazz Festival present SE:UM In 2013\, a group of jazz players and Korean traditional musicians started to play jam sessions based on traditional Korean folk melodies and shamanistic rhythms\, eventually forming SE:UM. The eclectic quintet is comprised of saxophonist Hachul Song\, trumpeter Jongsang Park\, bassist Jaeha Lee\, traditional percussionist Hanmin Cho\, and gayageum (twelve-stringed Korean zither) player and music director Joon Lee. The members of SE:UM have learned to respect one another’s musicalities over the years and succeeded in breaking down the borders between their musical conventions\, finding balance and harmony in their own music. \nSecure your spot and buy tickets online through the Port Theatre’s website.
