Kim In Ok’s philosophy of slowness emerges through the motif of waiting, inspired by her repeated journeys between Seoul and her studio in Hanggeum-ri, Yangpyeong. Trains and buses appear as quiet symbols of suspended time, moving gently across open plains beyond rhythmic rows of trees. Her landscapes distill nature into simplified forms circles and triangles refined through decades of practice transforming memory and emotion into symbolic clarity. Small houses beneath towering trees suggest imagined worlds shaped by innocence and introspection. Rather than depicting specific places, Waiting and The Road to Hanggeum-ri offer contemplative spaces of softened nostalgia, inviting viewers into moments of quiet reflection. by&nbsp;S,&nbsp;Alexander, Ph.D., is an art historian, poet, and curator, with writings featured in Frieze New York, The Armory Show, Skira Editore, and on Jenny Holzer. and&nbsp;Yoon Jin-sup&nbsp;

Human connections can often be the spark that breathes life into great music. The People That Inspire Us begins with Revelry by trailblazing American composer and Imani Winds founder and WHCO Spotlight Composer, Valerie Coleman. The work, described by the composer as “a sensory guide to the reckless abandon that emerges when people congregate” pulses with rhythmic drive and jubilant energy. We continue with Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio in G minor, inspiring not only because it was composed by a woman in a male-dominated musical world, but because of its extraordinary emotional depth, formal elegance, and expressive power. Our program concludes with a rarely heard gem from Louise Farrenc, a French Romantic composer and groundbreaking music educator. Her Nonet combines the textures of strings and winds in a richly melodic, symphonic-scale chamber work.
<h3>Repertoire</h3>
<ul><li>Valerie Coleman: Revelry</li><li>Clara Schumann: Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 17</li><li>Louise Farrenc: Nonet in E-Flat Major, Op. 38</li></ul>
This concert will be approximately 1hr, no intermission. Reception to follow.
