Our St. John’s chamber music series invites audiences into intimate musical spaces where stories, traditions, and communities come alive. Each concert highlights a different facet of connection—across cultures, generations, and landscapes—through the close-knit artistry of chamber music.
Coming to Boston: From Korea explores music of migration and belonging, from Haydn’s timeless quartets to new works by Korean-born, Boston-based composers Eun Young Lee and Binna Kim. Joined by gamin, master of traditional Korean winds, this program creates a cross-cultural portrait of identity and home.
