JUL: Old Instrument, New Sound

JUL consists of three Gayageum (Korean zither-like instrument) soloists, each having a strong background in traditional Korean music as well as in modern compositions and world music. The members have been commissioning new works that promote their vision, which is to bring new sounds from the old instrument.
