CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and Fridman Gallery present Crossing Boundaries 24: Between Breaths: A Sonic Memoir with gamin, an intimate multimedia performance by Korean-born, U.S.-based musician gamin, a multi-instrumentalist and designated Yisuja (official holder of Korea’s Important Intangible Cultural Asset No. 46). In this work, gamin invites audiences into a sonic memoir woven from breath, memory, and ancestral voice. Elizabeth Hoffman (Sound Design & Electronics), Christine Yerie Lee (Visual Art), Jacqueline Kerrod (harp), and Satoshi Takeishi (percussion) round out the creative team.
The concert will take place on December 3, 2025 at 7 pm at Fridman Gallery. Tickets are $27.74 and are available online.
“Her music is unlike anything else in the world.” — New York Music Daily
Created by gamin, Between Breaths is a meditation on lineage, transformation, and transcendence—where tradition is reimagined through feminist and intercultural lenses, and breath becomes memory, ritual, resistance, and future. Drawing on her monograph of family history and cultural heritage, she brings to life the stories of her foremothers through the sounds of traditional Korean wind instruments—the piri, saenghwang, and taepyeongso—blurring the lines between ritual and recital. Through improvisation and Korean modes, each breath becomes a vessel of resilience, migration, and belonging.

ABOUT CROSSING BOUNDARIES CONCERT SERIES
CROSSING BOUNDARIES is a concert series devoted to dissolving boundaries between performers and audiences, the traditional and contemporary, classical and experimental, and the culturally specific and the global. Series curators are given the opportunity to create unique performance events in collaboration with musical, visual, and/or movement artists of their choosing. The series was conceived in 2018 by the Korean traditional wind player and composer gamin, who has continued to help curate the series each year. https://crsny.org/crossing-boundaries-concert-series/
Crossing Boundaries is made possible in part with funds from Creative Engagement, a regrant program administered by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) and supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. LMCC empowers artists by providing them with networks, resources, and support, to create vibrant, sustainable communities in Manhattan and beyond.
