Korean Soundscape: The Pulse of Gugak - National Gugak Center
Korea's national institution for traditional music almost never tours the United States. When it does, the people in the audience are a mix of grandparents who grew up with these instruments and twenty-somethings who arrived through a drama soundtrack and want to hear it properly.
Gugak covers everything from court music written for a king to the percussion traditions that farmers played in fields, and the National Gugak Center is the body that has kept the repertoire intact for decades. Expect gayageum, daegeum, and the kind of drumming that is felt through the seat rather than heard. The program pairs music with dance.
The Luckman is on the Cal State LA campus off the 10, a long way from Koreatown, which means the audience has deliberately travelled. That changes how a room listens.
5151 State University Drive. Saturday, 6pm.
