Event Details:
This fall, Cantor Arts Center debuts Forms & Frequencies, a Thursday night music series featuring musicians and sound artists from the Bay Area and beyond with special evening hours for audiences to visit exhibitions in the Cantor Arts Center.
Join us on Thursday, October 24 for a performance by gayageum master and composer Hwayoung Shon in Cantor Arts Center’s main lobby. The acoustics of gayageum, a 12-string zither invented in the 6th century, will resonate the lobby’s cavernous interior with Shon performing songs that embody rebirth, ritual, and traversing time.
This series is programmed in conjunction with Spirit House, an exhibition featuring contemporary artists of Asian descent who challenge the boundary between life and death, and asks the question: what does it mean to speak to ghosts, inhabit haunted spaces, be reincarnated, or enter different dimensions? Whether you’re a fan of live music, a lover of art, or simply looking for a unique night out, Forms & Frequencies promises an unforgettable experience that resonates with all your senses.
All public programs at the Cantor Arts Center are always free! Space for this program is limited; advance registration is recommended.
About the Artist
Hwayoung Shon, a native of South Korea now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, is a gayageum master and composer who dedicates herself to exploring Korea’s rich cultural
heritage and introducing it to audiences worldwide. From winning Korea’s national gugak competitions leading to her public debut on Korea Broadcasting System in 1986, Shon has dedicated herself to mastering the intricacies of the gayageum. She has since collaborated extensively with K-pop stars, jazz musicians, world musicians, classical ensembles, and orchestras. Through her music, Shon aims to spread beauty of gayageum sound worldwide by sharing diverse perspectives and fostering cultural connections.
