Coming to Boston spotlights the stories of those who have shaped — and been shaped by — this city. Music and migration converge in this deeply personal program rooted in stories of arrival, belonging, and cultural exchange.
Haydn’s music opens the concert alongside Jörg Widmann’s Four Verses of Homesickness, a meditation on longing and displacement. Works by living, Korean-born, Boston-based composers Eun Young Lee (Bagooni & Gagopa) and Binna Kim (Stacked Emotions) explore identity and connection through striking contemporary voices.
We’re joined by gamin, master of traditional Korean wind instruments, who performs both her own The Stars and Lee’s evocative trio for piri/saenghwang, violin, and cello. Together, these works form a cross-cultural portrait through musical collaboration.
