Contemplative Traditions Music Series: P'ungnyu in P'ansori

On March 25, the Korea Society of New York is proud to host p'ansori master Bae Il-dong. He presents a program of p'ungnyu, enthralling listeners with his stunning control of drama, narrative, melody, and rhythm. Bae performs Korea's beloved tale of Chunhyang ga, one of the five most popular epic narratives that form the p'ansori canon. The Chunhyang ga tells the story of love between Chunhyang, the daughter of a kiseng, and Yi Mongryong, the son of a magistrate. After the two are illegally married, Mongryong goes to Hanyang (Seoul) to pass the state examination to become a court official. Mr. Bae Il-dong will sing of Yi Mongryong's return to Namwon as well as his Re-encounter with his mother-in-law, Wolmae.
