MOCA Grand Avenue andThe Walt Disney Concert Hall
Due to overwhelming demand, this event is sold out. A standby line in the Grand Avenue lobby at Walt Disney Concert Hall will be available the night of the performance in the event that space permits additional guests to be seated.
MOCA and LA Phil partner to present internationally acclaimed artistHaegue Yang(b. 1971, Seoul) and her ongoing interest in and engagement with the late Korean composer Isang Yun (1917–1995). Yang is celebrated for her unique abstract visual language accompanied by choreographies of sensory experience. Often grounded in deep archival research, Yang’s work explores the life and musical legacy of Yun through this presentation.
The evening will be centered around Yun’s musical composition,Double Concertofor oboe, harp, and small orchestra (1977), which audiences will encounter twice. First for a special preview of Yang’s sprawling installationStar-Crossed Rendezvous after Yun(2024) in the galleries at MOCA Grand Avenue, then for a live performance by the LA Phil New Music Group at Walt Disney Concert Hall. In doing so, Yang connects the physical sites of MOCA and LA Phil while bridging genres and histories. Activating our senses to travel across disparate places and time, the presentation will create a full body and sound journey that will unfold across the partner institutions.
Enjoy extended museum hours at MOCA Grand Avenue from 5 to 8pm for a viewing ofHaegue Yang: Star-Crossed Rendezvousthen head over to Walt Disney Concert Hall for the 8pm concert.
