Jungseok Lee, Master of National Intangible Heritage Geomungo Sanjo / National Heritage Agency.

A performance combining traditional Geomungo Sanjo and contemporary audiovisual art will be staged.

The National Intangible Heritage Center under the National Heritage Administration will present "Walking in the Shadow of Strings - Resonance Chamber," the fifth act of the "2026 Isujadyeon" series, performed by Jung Seok Lee, Master of the Geomungo Sanjo Tradition, on October 17 at 4 p.m. in the Grand Theater.

Lee, who is also the leader of Geomungo Factory—a group that won the KBS Korean Traditional Music Awards' Performance Group Prize in 2010—has expanded his own musical world through innovative projects that fuse tradition and creativity.

The performance consists of traditional and creative programs. "Shin Kwae-dong Style Geomungo Sanjo" focuses on the vibrations and silence remaining after the sound fades, delivering the original breathing rhythm of traditional Sanjo. "Walking in the Shadow of Strings" combines four audiovisual elements—sound, video, light, and space—to synesthetically express the movement inside the instrument and its unique material characteristics.
