Maegandang

Maegandang consists of three outstanding young artists who are creative on the basis of Korean traditional music. Maegandang literally means a group of people who charm, fascinate and entertain the audience with a mixture of music and performance. The three words are made up of the Chinese characters: 魅 (charm), 衎 (enjoyment), 黨 (group).

The members of the artist group Maegandang are Yu Yejin, Hwang Jaein and Kim Jiyeon.

With their great performance skills and stage presence, they always provide deep inspiration to the audience. They have coined a new genre called neo-traditional by bringing innovation to traditional music through various achievements, such as the Grand Prix at the "21st Century Korean Music Project" in 2022, which represents the Korean traditional music scene. They aim to prove the broad applicability and universality of Korean traditional music by strategically utilizing a diverse range of instruments.
The concert will feature traditional Korean music pieces as well as newly composed works with traditional Korean musical instruments. Professor Frank Böhme will present the Korean music featured, the Korean musical instruments used and the artists who have come to perform.
