What to expect while doing this

People have a lot of different jobs, and I'm a musician, which is a very lonely and demanding job, and it's a constant battle with yourself. 

But music gives me strength and comfort when I least expect it and in the hardest moments, so I can't let go of it, even though it's hard, because it's already given me the greatest comfort and joy before it touches the audience.

And when you're with people who love that beautiful music, when you're with the members of the Lyric Chamber Ensemble, it's four people and that synergy is multiplied 4 times, 40 times, 400 times, so I'm a happy man.  






Interview


Q. What are some of your most memorable places and experiences in nature in Korea?

An unforgettable experience in the Saryeoni Forest on Jeju's Hallasan Mountain;

The aroma of the forest, the wholesomeness of the trees, and the various sounds that could be heard in the forest gave me a lot of comfort and rest in my busy life, and just walking in the forest was an experience that made me reflect and appreciate myself.




Q.  What does nature mean to you?

As a musician, nature is one of my biggest sources of inspiration and ideas when creating and thinking about music. Classical music was already around before I was born. But when a composer wrote a piece of music, nature would have been with him as it is now, and I live in that nature, too.

Nature teaches me a lot when I feel the music and put my mind together.




Q. What do you want people to take away from the experience and healing you provide?

First and foremost, I hope that my playing brings comfort and respite to those who listen.

I hope my music can help you take a break from your busy and hard life, or if you are tired of bad memories and hard life, my warm music can give you the comfort that it's okay and the strength to get back on your feet.
