Event Details

In the 1900’s western classical music was introduced to Korea. Over time Korean composers began fusing the European Romantic style with Korean folk melodies and poetry. These songs tell stories of  love, longing, leaving loved ones behind, home, war and nature— mountains, rivers, sea, birds and flowers.

This evening will include some of the most popular Korean Art songs such as Song of My Hometown (고향의 노래), Narcissus (수선화), Pioneer (선구자), Barley Field (보리밭), featuring 4 Bay Area Korean- American Opera Singers: Sopranos Yoonsil Kae (계윤실) and Shawn Kim (김선주), Tenor Michael Kim (김상민), and Bass Andrew Chung (정종철). 

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear music that is rarely performed!

Bay Area Classical Harmonies



Called by some "the most versatile group in the Bay Area," BACH's impressive range of repertoire has included cantatas, symphonies and masses. The Opera division, incorporating stage professionals and up-and-comers, first performed at the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts, presenting a concert version of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" in December 2000. Since its inception in 1998 by graduate and undergraduate students of the Music Department of UC Berkeley, BACH has cultivated young musical talent through the performance of great classical works for audiences in the Bay Area and beyond. The group attained non-profit status in May 2002, promoting professionalism and providing tax benefits to its donors.
