West Coast String Summit 2023: Eyvind Kang (excerpt)

March 9, 2023
The Roundhouse

Excerpt of a solo performance on Viola d’amore by Eyvind Kang.

Eyvind Kang—a multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger—works across genre and discipline, bringing subtlety, fluidity, and emotional intensity to each of his varied projects. Wary of the divisions of music by nation, Kang makes “people music” influenced by geology, collective memory and sonic possibility. He has worked with Jessika Kenney, Laurie Anderson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Bill Frisell, and many others.

Since 2020 he has focused on the Viola D’Amore.

Part of West Coast String Summit, which took place March 9-11, 2023 at The Roundhouse, ANNEX and 8 EAST, presented by Vancouver New Music, Vancouver Improvised Arts Society, NOW Society in partnership with the Roundhouse
