Originally created as a side project by the prolific music arrangers Park Jin-woo and Kim Hyun-bo, Second Moon first came to prominence as one of South Korea's best known folk pop bands through their catchy and remarkably popular Korean television soundtracks, including the scores for The Legend of the Blue Sea and Love in the Moonlight. The group have since expanded into a touring ensemble whose performances draw inspiration from ethnic folk songs sourced from around the world, including Korean pansori, Irish traditional, American country western and bluegrass, Romani jazz manouche, and Chinese opera. This program is part of Lincoln Center's continuing celebration of the spectrum of Korean performing arts, presented in collaboration with Korean Cultural Center New York.
