Formed in the Summer of 2025, the duo of rising star DoYeon Kim and native Seattlite Andrew Drury brings together two visceral and pioneering musicians who channel Korean and radical percussion traditions. The performance will feature wide-ranging musical improvisation (with embedded compositions) evoking chaos, order, catastrophe, and calm.
DoYeon Kim (b. 1991, Seoul) is internationally recognized for introducing the gayageum, a traditional Korean zither, into contemporary music. The first gayageum player admitted to New England Conservatory and Berklee’s jazz programs, Kim merges Korean idioms with jazz and improvisation. She has been honored by the Korean Grammy Awards, Berklee & New Music USA’s Next Jazz Legacy, and has served on the faculties of NEC and The New School. Her work spans solo performances, intercontinental collaborations, and leading roles with ensembles like ACC X Music Festival and the Gyeonggi Sinawi Orchestra. Her collaborators include Mark Dresser, Tyshawn Sorey, Anna Webber and Peter Evans.
Andrew Drury (b. 1964, Bellevue) is a drummer, improviser, composer, bandleader, and a pioneer of extended techniques for percussion, most notably in the use of drums as wind instruments. Rooted in lifelong fascinations with Nature and African-diasporic creativity, and cultivated by a decade-long mentorship with Ed Blackwell, Drury’s work combines a reverence for musical tradition with an openness to the infinite possibilities of the moment. He has worked with artists such as Myra Melford, Wadada Leo Smith, Ingrid Laubrock, Annea Lockwood, Howard Johnson, and Nels Cline. Originally from the Seattle area, he lives in Brooklyn, New York.
