Traditional Korean Percussion Music (Samulnori) Performance
10:09AM / Tuesday, February 17, 2009
A traditional Korean percussion music (samulnori) ensemble will give a performance at Williams College in Goodrich Hall on Saturday, February 28th at 7:30pm. Samulnori is a genre of Korean percussion music that has its origins in Buddhist and traditional folk music. It involves four different instruments, kwaengwari (a small gong), jing (a large gong), janggu (an hourglass shaped drum), and buk (a barrel drum), with varying numbers of players on each instrument depending on the size of the ensemble.
Samulnori has been gaining popularity with an international audience, to the extent that there are now ensembles in many different countries, and samulnori groups in most of the major American universities. The group that will be performing is based in New York, and gave a well-received performance at Williams College two years ago. Refreshments will also be served at the performance. The event is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by KOW (Koreans of Williams College). Council, and the Williams Multicultural Center.
