Performers

Angela Wai Nok Hui (she/her) is percussionist and multidisciplinary artist based in London and Hong Kong. She comes from formal classical training. Her practice is ultimately grounded by a clear devotion to explore and expand the boundaries of music, performance and sound art. Passionate about the creative process and experimenting with different artforms by re- creating and re-imagining sound and music. She is determined to continue forging her own narrative and platform in order to support her own wild imagination. She is always in search of new media with which she can represent herself more fully. Over recent years, she has started to create her own work which often engages with political references and themes of identity from both places she calls home, embedded within the strange and beautiful sound worlds Hui creates to surround us all.

Hyeyung Sol Yoon is an artist at the margin of her American and Korean identities who plays the violin, composes, teaches, and organizes arts communities in a career that spans over 2 decades. Current projects include composing and performing a collection of musical poems: Uhmuhni, a collaboration between Yoon and Hanji artist Aimee Lee inspired by the often unheard stories of Korean and Korean-American women. Hyeyung’s experience of immigrating to the U.S. from Korea at the age of 7 and later traveling to her motherland in 2019 to study Korea’s shaman rituals and folk performances continue to inspire and inform her own creative work. She is the founder of Asian Musical Voices of America (AMVA), an organization devoted to community-building and activism for change for Asian diasporic musicians, and was a violinist in the Chiara String Quartet for 18 years before celebrating the ensemble’s last season in 2018. The Chiara held residencies at Harvard University, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, touring and performing many works by heart, including the complete string quartets of Béla Bartók at the Ravinia Festival in 2016.
