Pianist Eunbi Kim’s sonic memoir it feels like a dream features a soundworld of classical music threaded with an indie-pop awareness. Meanwhile, hypnotic projected visuals by new media artist Xuan expand the experience. This immersive multimedia performance explores questions of family and identity, offering listeners a space to meditate on the dreams they carry and pass on. it feels like a dream includes works by Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR), Angélica Negrón, Pauchi Sasaki, and Sophia Jani for piano, pre-recorded voices, and electronics, written for and performed by Kim.

The evening also premieres The Dreamers, a new work by Corey Chang written for Kim and commissioned by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art. The work incorporates a poem that Kim’s father wrote more than thirty years ago, shortly after immigrating to the US from Korea—a meditation on the duality of hope and despondency experienced by immigrants navigating a new land.
