Artist Addition: Okkyung Lee

New York-based artist and South Korea native Okkyung Lee has created a body of work blurring genre boundaries through collaborations and compositions while testing the limit of contemporary cello performance techniques. Her music draws inspiration from noise and extended techniques, jazz, Western classical, and Korean traditional and popular music. Okkyung’s unique approach to her instrument and improvisation has led to collaborations with artists including Laurie Anderson, David Behrman, Evan Parker, and many more.
