Grachtenfestival: Chaerin Im Trio
About the event
Pianist Chaerin Im performs with her trio at the Gashouder Amsterdam during the Grachtenfestival. She plays new compositions with acoustic grand piano and synthesizers, a mix of modern jazz, Korean indie music, and ambient electronica. This concert is part of Jazz Gems, a collaboration between the Grachtenfestival and the Keep an Eye Foundation. Music without borders Chaerin Im is known for her distinctive sound, in which she connects modern jazz, Korean indie music, cinematic instrumentals, and ambient electronica. Improvisation and melody constantly reinforce each other in her music. She once said: "For a long time, I thought you had to stick to one genre." It is precisely letting go of that boundary that now forms the core of her style. New compositions with piano and synthesizers For this concert, Chaerin Im wrote new pieces especially for the occasion and experimented with a setup in which an acoustic grand piano and synthesizers come together. You will hear these compositions live for the first time. Her trio also consists of Paddy Fitzgerald on bass guitar and Ludvig Søndergaard on drums. Jazz Gems: talents in the spotlight This performance is part of Jazz Gems , a concert series by the Grachtenfestival and the Keep an Eye Foundation.
