Black String Tickets

Black String is a dynamic South Korean ensemble that navigates the meeting point of ancient Korean sounds and contemporary genres. Formed in 2011, the group has built a reputation for fearless improvisation and cross-cultural collaboration, led by core members Yoon Jeong Heo (geomungo), Aram Lee (daegeum and yanggeum), Jean Oh (electric guitar), and Min Wang Hwang (percussion and vocals). Their music blends traditional Korean instruments with jazz, rock, and electronics, creating immersive performances that travel from intimate club stages to major festival tents.

Whether performing in intimate cinema rooms or renowned concert halls, Black String invites audiences to experience spontaneous creation and shared listening. Their careful balance of tradition and modernity makes them a standout in the world music scene, with a sound that’s both scholarly and visceral.

Black String’s discography highlights a journey across East-West musical landscapes. Their studio albums include Road of Oasis (2024, Mirrorball Music), Karma (2019, ACT Music), and Mask Dance (2016, ACT Music). A live document of their improvisational prowess, Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic X: East-West (2020, ACT Music), captures the group in a monumental setting. The project has earned prestigious accolades, such as the Songlines Music Award Asia & Pacific for Mask Dance (2018) and the Korean Music Awards for Best Jazz & Crossover Performance for Karma (2020).
