A group of five musicians, "Global String band JOOL," are smiling at the camera in the foreground, with autumn leaves and text about "KOREAN - AMERICANA MUSIC" and "AUTUMN'S GOLDEN TUNE" framing the image.

General Admission

Experience a unique musical journey where Korean tradition meets American roots music. Led by Korean ajaeng performer, composer, and improviser Yoona Kim, Global String Band JOOL brings together the deep, resonant sound of the Korean ajaeng with the warmth and energy of Old-Time and American roots music. For Autumn&rsquo;s Golden Tune, Yoona Kim presents newly created works inspired by her experiences exploring both Korean traditional music and American musical traditions. Rather than simply combining different genres, this project grows from an ongoing artistic journey of discovering connections between her Korean musical identity and the musical traditions she has encountered in the United States. Joined by fiddler Zoe Rose dePaz, cellist Sammy Wetstein, and bassist Max Ridley, Kim creates a distinctive string quartet sound that opens new possibilities between Korean music and American roots traditions. Like the golden season that inspires its title, Autumn&rsquo;s Golden Tune invites audiences to share in the richness and warmth of autumn through music. Inspired by the season of Chuseok in Korea and Thanksgiving in the United States&mdash;both times of harvest, abundance, and gathering&mdash; this concert celebrates connection through a vibrant meeting of Korean and American musical traditions.
