Our special festival-opening presentation will be given by a person who has been at the heart of the LCCMF community: Jin Kim, father of Artistic Director Soovin Kim. From his perspective of being an immigrant to the United States, Jin will share personal stories about how Korean folk traditions and intercultural communication have shaped the experience of his children, grandchildren, and American popular culture.

Pictures, words, and music come together in this one-hour program celebrating South American traditions. You will enjoy dialogues between the works of celebrated Amerindian photographer Martín Chambi, Argentinian poet María Negroni, and the composers whom they inspired, as well as traditional folk melodies and dances reimagined by Alberto Ginastera.
