Park Jiha\u2019s music is delicately balanced between heritage and improvisation. The South Korean composer has a singular ability to leave us suspended in each moment and in every note she plays. Her innovative approach is transmuted into a form of minimalist music that breaks with paradigms and traditions, and gives new life to ancestral Korean instruments such as the Piri, a double-reed flute made of bamboo, the Saenghwang, a mouth organ also made of bamboo, and the Yanggeum, a dulcimer or hammered string instrument.<\/p>\n
She secured her place on the international stage with her first solo album, Communion<\/em> (2018). Philos<\/em> (2019) and The Gleam<\/em> (2022) followed, albums that earned her high praise from audiences and critics alike. In between, To Call out into the Night<\/em> (2022) also stands out, a collaboration with poet Roy Claire Potter, recorded for a BBC Radio 3 programme and released by Otoroku, the label of London\u2019s Caf\u00e9 Oto. She also made her debut as a film composer with the soundtrack for Foe<\/em> (2023), Garth Davis\u2019 thriller, in partnership with British musician Oliver Coates and Danish artist Agnes Obel.<\/p>\n In 2025, Park Jiha returned with All Living Things<\/em>, an ode to all living things and a love letter to the experience of being alive. To her highly distinctive sound world, the composer adds traces of her voice and electronic elements for the first time, resulting in a contemplative, cyclical, considered and slowly evolving work. And it is with this album that Park Jiha comes to Portugal, for a concert that promises, at the very least, to be transcendental.<\/p>\n supported by\u00a0<\/strong>portuguese republic – culture, youth and sports \/ general direction of the arts \/ network of portuguese theaters and cinemas (rtcp). portuguese contemporary art network (rpac).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Park Jiha\u2019s music is delicately balanced between heritage and improvisation.
