Enlightened Connections: Bridge to Korean Music
Please join us for a two-day cultural and musical collaboration between Purdue University and Seoul National University. This event invites audiences to experience the depth and beauty of Korean traditional music through a hands-on workshop introducing traditional instruments, an opportunity to wear hanbok (traditional Korean attire) and take memorable photos, an educational seminar in collaboration with the SLC Korean Program, and a culminating evening concert featuring performers from Purdue, SNU’s Korean Traditional Music ensembles, and the premiere of "In E." Open to all and free to attend, this event celebrates cross-cultural exchange through music, performance, and shared experience.
