The SeAH Korean Art Song Gala is a high-profile Korean Performing Arts Initiative event. The first half of the concert will feature student performances of Korean song, interwoven with historical and cultural narration by SMTD’s Dr. Matthew Thompson, and will end with a performance by SMTD’s alum Jack Morin (’25), whose Korean song performances have garnered millions of views online. The second half of the concert will showcase the world-renowned Korean soprano Sumi Jo, joined by Thompson at the piano.
The concert marks the first time that Korean song performance has been taught at U-M and is generously supported by the SeAH corporation and numerous campus entities: the Arts Initiative, the Jessye Norman Fund, the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, the Nam Center for Korean Studies, and the Office of the President. Concert proceeds will be used to support future Korean Performing Arts Initiative events.
