Synopsis

Blending musical traditions from the West and the Far East, CelloGayageum explores the possibilities that arise when two distinct sonic worlds meet. Drawing on their diverse musical and cultural backgrounds, Austrian cellist Sol Daniel Kim and Korean gayageum player Dayoung Yoon are constantly experimenting and seeking out new ways of making music. At the heart of their work is a commitment to find a harmonic symbiosis between their musical influences, where tradition is not abandoned but instead reimagined. 

 

Serving as cultural ambassadors, Kim and Yoon aim to share the beauty of South Korean traditional music with global audiences, offering performances that are at once contemporary and deeply rooted in heritage.

 

Through original self-composed pieces, CelloGayageum presents their signature sound, showcasing warm resonances of the cello alongside delicate plucked tones of the gayageum.
