Sun-Mi Hong
Jazz has a history of activism; in bending, letting go or rejecting conventions. Jazz enters into a serious conversation with the status quo. In its freest form, improvisation, jazz is a constant search for new forms of conversation. In the REFLEX series we invite makers to reflect on the world and its society. The compiler of this new concert in the series is drummer Sun-Mi Hong. Can be seen and heard in BIMHUIS Amsterdam.
