1–3 p.m. Gayeon 가연 - 佳緣 and Korean Cultural Performances

In October's Korean Culture Celebration, learn about Gayeon, which translates into a beautiful or destined meeting that seeks to bring people closer through celebrating shared passions. Celebrate the Gayeon spirit as presenting partner Han Narea performs traditional Korean dance and all woman-group Dori — hailing from Seoul, South Korea — as they perform Samulnori, a music style with links to village and farming celebrations that uses traditional percussion instruments.  

Join Asia Society Texas and Han Narea in enjoying lively music, dance performances, and embodying true Gayeon spirit!
