This week a new score has been added to the music library of the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic. The South Korean composer Ms. Eun-Hwa Cho has created a great piece of music expressly for the opening of the Eurasia International Festival II. The concert for janggu and orchestra has sophisticated name “Back into. Out of”. Janggu is a Korean percussion instrument shaped like an hour-glass or two shotglasses, set vertically one above the other, the bottoms of which are fixed by their short legs. Currently, only a part of the scores is available, the rest of them the Philharmonic expects to receive at the end of August. The world premiere of this piece of music will take place on October 4 at the opening of the Festival.
The concert for janggu and orchestra will be performed by the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dmitry Liss and the South Korean soloist Woong-Sik Kim.
