[ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE]
The most primal and delicate instrument embedded in human D.N.A!
A world you have never encountered,
New music delivered through percussion.
The most familiar instrument to humanity is the "percussion instrument" that humans have used since ancient times. Unlike the dull and crude percussion instruments of the past, percussion has made remarkable progress over the years and is demonstrating its excellence as a solo instrument to audiences. On July 15, 2026, you will have the opportunity to experience the pure melodies of the most contemporary yet classical music through percussionist Shin Beom-soo. This recital will allow you to savor everything from the grandeur to the warmth that percussion instruments bring, and through various new world premiere works by Aldridge, Xenakis, Kim Sung-eun, Liu, Park Dong-wook, McLaughlin, and others, you will discover another facet of percussion music. This meeting of these musical works will be a recital that presents a new direction for percussion music and delivers a fresh impact to the Korean music scene.
Percussionist Shin Beom-soo collaborates with Inaki & Elite Mallets (percushop.com).
