Award-winning classical Pianist Jeeyoon Kim returns to Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall on June 7, 2023 at 8 pm with her new performance project 시음 /si-úm/ (pronounced shee-oom).
The ocean inspires, connects, sustains us. Artists, poets, musicians, surfers… beach-goers the world over share a deep admiration and respect for the sea.The "Poetry in Ocean: A Celebration of the Sunset, Surf and Sea" panel and open reading was born of the same gusto for sun and surf, San Diego style! The evening will start with a panel discussion led by surfer and associate publisher of the San Diego Poetry Annual, Michael Klam. Panelists are surf journalist, Scott Bass, classical pianist/surfer, Jeeyoon Kim, poet/visual artist, Ted Washington, and lifelong surfer, artist, author and contributing writer at The Surfer’s Journal, Cher Pendarvis.Open mic follows the panel. All poets and writers of any genre are invited to share their take on the influence and inspiration they draw from the sea. Open mic readers will share one poem (or two short ones) or one piece of short prose each. Writers can sign up on the night of the show or preregister to read at sdpoetryannual@gmai
Award-winning classical pianist, Jeeyoon Kim is thrilled to announce her newest project, 시음 /si-úm/ which blends classical piano with poetry and black and white photography by Allen T. Brown. The title of this concert, 시음 pronounced as /si-úm/ is a blend meaning poetry and music in Korean. It is also the title of a performance project and album that Jeeyoon has been developing since the pandemic began. She will take this solo piano performance to twenty cities across the U.S. in the upcoming concert season, including a performance at New York City’s Carnegie Hall. This will be her very first performance of this project at a world class concert hall, The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, in La Jolla, San Diego County.
