The Austrian premiere of the Korean ensemble Samulnori Molgae introduces the fascinating world of Korean traditional percussion. Samulnori literally means "play of four things," referring to the four typical percussion instruments.

The five percussionists, playing instruments like kkwaenggwari (small gong), janggu (hourglass drum), jing (gong), or buk (big drum), are accompanied by Korean singing and Western instruments, combining Korean jazz with traditional music, among others.

With their program "The Way," which also has a spiritual character, the musicians tell the story of human life through rhythms and instruments that have been passed down for centuries. Through music and a bit of dance, the journey of life is narrated, touching upon connections, encounters, farewells, reunions, and reflections.

The group Samulnori Molgae was founded in 1991. In addition to numerous performances in Korea, the musicians also give concerts internationally, including in Germany, Canada, the USA, France, Japan, Russia, Morocco, and South America. Furthermore, the musicians conduct international workshops and enjoy collaborating with musicians from East and West.
