COMPOSER’S NOTE:

Inspired by the early orchestral works of Igor Stravinsky, and his resonance with Russian folklore and cultural mythology, The Wind of Two Koreas is a work I sought to create as a Korean-American composer, rooted in the idea of cultural blood memory, bringing the ancient and modern elements of Korea’s political, historical, and aesthetic identity together.
