Event Description : “Daegeum” A Korean Flute Concert by  Sung-Pil Yang (Accompanied by Jaeseung Sin/ Korean percussionist)
The daegeum is a large bamboo transverse flute used in traditional Korean music. It has a buzzing membrane that gives it a special timbre. It is used in court, aristocratic, and folk music, as well as in contemporary classical and popular music.
The solo performance called daegeum sanjo was pronounced an Important Intangible Cultural Properties of Korea by the Cultural Heritage Administration of South Korea in 1971
Sungpil Yang was born in South Korea and from a young age had a deep affinity with Korean traditional music which lead to a serious study of the Daegeum – the Korean Bamboo flute.
He has a Master degree in music from Youngnam University and Doctoral degree in Musicology from Keimyung University in Daegu, Korea. He has performed in the U.S., UK, Italy, Russia, Spain, Sweden, China, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and has produced and staged dozens of national traditional music performances.
He has collaborated with different contemporary musicians and it is his constant endeavour to transmit the emotions of Korean and Daegeum music.
He is the leading flutist for the large Korean orchestra and the director of Korea GYEONGIU world traditional wind instruments Festival and his World Music Project Group. He has released four solo albums of his music.
