Korean Drumming Concert - UMD Korean Percussion Ensemble

  • The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center 8270 Alumni Drive College Park, MD, 20742 United States (map)

Experience the vibrant beat of samulnori under the direction of Sebastian Wang. This modern incarnation of traditional Korean folk music celebrates harvest time and provides a lively soundtrack to dancing. The ensemble is comprised of four types of percussion instruments—an hourglass drum, a barrel drum, a small gong and a large gong—each representing a natural element: rain, clouds, lightning and wind, respectively.
