Park Jiha

South Korean composer Park Jiha deftly balances heritage and improvisation. Moving beyond her formal training, she reimagines traditional instruments like the Yanggeum, Saenghwang and Piri through contemporary, minimalistic sound. Her era-ambiguous elegies fluctuate between dynamic and meditative, earning her a collaboration with Scouse poet Roy Claire Potter, recorded for BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction in 2022.
