Total Immersion: Unsuk Chin

My music is a reflection of my dreams Unsuk Chin

Chin’s imaginary landscapes have generated vivid musical ideas and a succession of expressively charged scores. Gougalon recalls a troupe of entertainers in Seoul whose hugely popular act involved selling quack remedies. The concert also includes the sensational showpiece Akrostikon Wortspiel (Acrostic Wordplay), an exquisite sequence of fairytales for sopano and ensemble, Chin’s international breakthrough work.

Part of the BBC Symphony Orchestra’s Total Immersion: Unsuk Chin festival.
