In celebration of samulnori, the Korean Traditional Music Festival presents an extraordinary music and dance program featuring the very quintessential best of the artform: Kim Duk Soo and his team, Samulnori Hanullim, who recently performed at the Opening Meeting of the 132nd Session of the International Olympic Committee in PyeongChang, and Muakpoongryu, a rising group of talents from Korea. Other renowned artists based joining the festival include Chunseung Lee (conductor and director of the NY Korean Traditional Marching Band), Eunjoo Kang (dancer and founder of Woorigarak Korean Cultural Art Center), and the Peace Orchestra, a grandiose group of 200 performers with instruments from all over the world accompanied by a 100-person choir.

Experience a rich sampling of Korean arts including the breathtaking sword dance, the vibrant three-drum dance, and visually-stunning fan dance.
