Audiences will experience a new, more engaging way of listening to a classical concert. This one-hour concert without an intermission.

“As a pianist, one of the most rewarding moments is when I feel that I have lifted someone’s soul with my playing and when I feel that I am deeply connected with listeners in the very moment of sharing music. It has became clear to me that it is why I make music. Through Over. Above. Beyond. my wish is to give an audience a sense of hope, lightness, and a new beginning. These are pieces that have given me a sense of joy, weightlessness, and peace. Join me for this special flight and receive what music has given to us. Together let’s fly Over. Above. Beyond! -Jeeyoon
