CelloGayageum
Galloway, N.J. – East meets West in the unique and intercultural musical duo CelloGayageum, consisting of cellist Sol Daniel Kim and Gayageum player Dayoung Yoon. Experience the seamless blending of two cultures through the duo’s music at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 4.
The idea to create CelloGayageum came from the two artists’ visit to the "Pavillon of Unification" in Berlin, a city shaped by a tragic history of war, division and reunion. By blending the musical cultures and instruments of the Italian cello and the Korean gayageum, they create a harmonious symbiosis in both sound and style.
Since its formation in 2016, CelloGayageum has received recognition and awards, including the Soorim Culture Prize, as well as a grant from the Seoul Foundation of Arts and Culture to produce its first album “South Wave, North Wind.”
In addition to the duo’s musical pursuits, CelloGayageum is also committed to sharing a love of traditional South Korean music with a wider audience. By performing for a broad audience and serving as cultural ambassadors, CelloGayageum is helping to promote the traditional music culture of South Korea to the world.
