Music: Kyung Hwa Chung & Kevin Kenner Duo Concert

Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (Director Sangwon Jung) will host the screening of the third installment of the performing arts screenings “K Classic Series,” in collaboration with the Seoul Arts Center (SAC), on June 20 at 7:00 PM in Ari Hall on the 3rd floor of the Cultural Center. This event will feature the “Kyung Wha Chung & Kevin Kenner Duo Concert.”

This performance, held in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Seoul Arts Center’s opening, garnered high expectations as it marked the reunion of the living legend of K-classical music, violinist Kyung Wha Chung, and her long-time musical partner, pianist Kevin Kenner. The concert was a sold-out event from early on in Korea.

Appearing on the Arts Center stage for the first time in five years, Kyung Wha Chung captivated the audience of over 2,500 with her characteristic charisma and magnificent performance. The concert program included Brahms’ “Violin Sonata No. 1 in G Major,” known as the “Rain Sonata,” Grieg’s “Violin Sonata No. 3 in C Minor,” and Franck’s “Violin Sonata in A Major,” all of which had been performed many times before to great acclaim. The stage was expected to demonstrate the grandeur of the two master performers, whose synergy was often described as that of soulmates.

The “K Classic Series” performing arts content screening will conclude with the Novus Quartet concert on Thursday, July 18 at 7:00 PM. The next series will feature live screenings of prominent performances at the Seoul Arts Center, including ballet, opera, and theater.

Admission to this event is free, but advance reservations is required. Reservations can be made through the KCCLA website at www.kccla.org. For inquiries about the performance, please contact [email protected] or call (323) 936-7141.
