Ho Jun Čong na Geomungo – Masterful Harmony

music
Ho Jun Chong, as a master of the geomungo, has earned admiration not only in Korea but also around the world. In her performances, she combines music, singing, and dance with the aesthetics of "Movement in Stillness," opening up a new dimension of traditional music.

The term of “Geomungo Master” cannot sufficiently express the musical world of Heo Yoon Jeong, who perfectly demonstrates traditional and neo-traditional music, contemporary music, and avant-garde and improvisational music.

Her unique approach, which is based on traditionality constructed with traditional instruments and musical elements exclusively but shows a very modern sound than any other traditional performances, has attracted the attention of international fans and thereby sparked their interest in Korean music.

<The Masterful harmony>, her piece that won the Grand Prize at the 2023 Seoul Arts Awards, reflects her respect for Korean traditional music as well as her passion for perfecting the highest level of performance. Music and dance meet in the sea of traditional music and swim together, completing the performance at its peak. Through this work, the audience will be offered a new, complete way of understanding and enjoying traditional music.
