This concert is a presentation of works by Asian American composers, performed by St. Louis Symphony Orchestra violinist Seul Lee and cellist Kimberly Jeong. From the ancient rain cycles of Indian raga to the folk dances of rural China, the meditative stillness of the Mongolian desert, and the charged rhythm of contemporary Korea, each offers a unique exploration of memory, identity and place. Featuring works by Reena Esmail, Chen Yi, Texu Kim, and Lei Liang.*
