Hear folk songs collected by Korean composer and musicologist Jean Ahn, as well as popular tunes written by Dong-Jin Kim and Du-Nam Jo. The program also features songs by populist composer Sun-Nam Kim, whose political idealism was crushed under the repressive North Korean regime of Kim Il Sung.

Many of these songs express a yearning for simplicity and the tranquility of the natural world. Some have served as a balm amid periods of tumult and revolution. We invite you to share in this collection of songs that express the hopes and longings of generations across a deeply divided peninsula.
