Concerts in the Catacombs: eddy kwon

In the middle of Green-Wood is a cavernous underground space rarely open to the public. The Catacombs is not just a place of rest for the departed, it is also the setting for New York’s most distinctive and atmospheric musical experiences.

In these performances, violinist/violist and interdisciplinary performing artist eddy kwon (she/they) will present Four Rituals Toward an Infinite Perfect Resource, which uses interdisciplinary ceremony as an opening into queer ancestry, lineage, and family. kwon will present the 6:30pm performances on July 6th & 7th solo. The 8pm performance on July 6th will be a collaboration with vocalist, composer/improviser, and interdisciplinary artist Isabel Crespo Pardo (they/them). The 8pm performance on July 7th will be a collaboration with vocalist, composer, and performer Holland Andrews (they/them).

kwon’s performances explore transformation and transgression, ritual practices, and the use of mythology to connect, obscure, and reveal. kwon’s work as an improviser and composer-performer is inspired by Korean folk timbres and inflections, textures and movement from natural environments, and American experimentalism as shaped by the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians.
