The 98th Claude Salon Concert, Cho Yun-seong & Betty Hwang & Kim Seong-won Le Nouveau Collective: Origins and Endings

[Performance Introduction] On June 23, the special project Origins and Endings by Le Nouveau Collective will unfold at Claude Art Hall. In this jazz salon, which carries the meaning of "Origins and Endings," you will experience an original stage where the freedom of jazz meets the sophistication of Baroque music. Crossing hundreds of years of time, these musical encounters will lead the Claude audience into a new world of jazz, like deep meditation and passionate improvisation! 😍 🎤 Jazz vocalist Betty Hwang is an alumna of the Berklee College of Music in the United States and is a vocalist who freely moves between modern jazz and Brazilian contemporary music. She has built her own musical world through collaborations with world-class musicians such as Michael Mayo, Kurt Elling, Luciana Souza, and John Patitucci, delivering deep emotion through her clear, warm tone and delicate expression. 🎹 Pianist Cho Yoon Seung is a world-class artist representing Korean jazz. He was the first Asian to be selected as a full scholarship recipient at the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz and has been actively performing on stages across the United States and Europe. As an outstanding performer, composer, and arranger, he will showcase his original works in this performance, delivering the essence of musical imagination. 🎸🪷 Guitarist and banjo player Kim Sungwon is a world-renowned musician who is the first Asian to perform in New York Broadway musicals such as Hamilton, Wicked, Frozen, and Kinky Boots. He has built international fame by performing on stages with artists like Jimmy Page (in a tribute concert), John Patitucci, and Dave Liebman. On this stage, he will provide a unique sound, moving seamlessly between the guitar and the banjo. This performance will be centered around Baroque music and Cho Yoon Seung's original compositions. Old music will be reborn through the language of modern jazz, and modern creative works will meet the spirit of the Baroque to create new stories. Join these three musicians, who freely cross the boundaries of jazz, classical, and world music, for a special time at Claude. 💕
