Peter S. Shin
Introspective, referential, and observant, the music of Peter S. Shin 신세종 (b. 1991) strives in reach of others. His work investigates issues of social and national belonging, the co-opting and intermingling of disparate musical vernaculars, and the liminality between the two halves of his second-generation Korean-U.S. American identity. The New York Times described him as “a composer to watch” and his music “entirely fresh and personal” following his premiere at Carnegie Hall.
Highlights include a performance of his electroacoustic dance work Screaming Shapes at the Walt Disney Concert Hall; an orchestral commission by John Adams and Deborah O’Grady for the Cabrillo Festival; the chamber orchestral work Hyo commissioned by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra which explores his family’s immigration story; and the on-going “Hallyu Interventions” series which contends with the globalization of South Korean contemporary culture known as the hallyu wave via the sounds of K-Pop.
