Event Description

Koeun Grace Lee presents a program of works by three composers with strong ties to Chicago: Kyong Mee Choi, David Burge, and Carter Pann. Each work presents a distinctive sound quality of new music on the piano. This Ear Taxi Festival Spotlight Concert program presents the theme of HEAR CHICAGO and includes much fruitful diversity in music that Chicago offers. Partial or all repertoire in the program will be performed out of town soon (Denison University) and will be recorded in an album (PARMA, 2024).
