interludes: DoYeon Kim

Improvisations @ Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, Bronx, NY
DoYeon Kim, Gayageum   / doyeonmusic  


DoYeon Kim, a traditionally trained Korean artist, has innovatively combined Korean music, jazz, and improvisation with the gayageum, introducing the instrument to the global improvisational music scene. She has won numerous international competitions, including the Dong-A Ilbo Traditional Music Competition and the On-Nala Korean Music Competition. A graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and Berklee’s Global Jazz Institute, Kim has collaborated with various composers and performed worldwide with the Kim Do Yeon Band and noted improvisers like Tyshawn Sorey and Joe Morris. Her albums, "GaPi" and "Macrocosm," have received critical acclaim. A pioneer in pushing traditional Asian instruments into the future, she continues to innovate as a Van Lier Fellow at Roulette​ Intermedium.

Her solo performance highlights her unique use of extended technique of the gayageum, incorporating many accessories that broaden the sonic spectrum of the instrument's expression.
