Beauty of Recorder and Jeongga Confronted within a Tranquility of Traditional Space

2024 Jeonju International Sori Festival has prepared the “Morning of Jeonju” section for true music lovers! Let us feel the beauty of afterglow through a variety of music in a tranquil atmosphere of the historical site of Jeolla Gamyeong (the local government office complex during the Joseon Dynasty period)!

The first performance in this section is for a recorder and jeongga, a traditional vocal genre of the Korean peninsula. Baroque recorder player Jeon Hyeonho and jeongga singer Kim Nari will perform a wide range of music from the medieval and baroque periods’ music of the West to pungnyubang songs (performed by nobelmen for entertainment). The performers together will harmoniously present traditional and contemporary aspects of the traditional vocal genres of sijo and gasa as well as the essence of elegant and peaceful recorder playing.
