SACRED MUSIC HOURS. A GLANCE FROM SEOUL

YEHEUN JU (organ, South Korea)

How can you travel to a distant, exotic land without having to leave Vilnius? By coming to St Casimir’s Church! How can you get a sense of that country’s spirit? Through music. And organist Yeheun Ju will be bringing it from far-away South Korea.

The artist’s exceptional biography includes years of activity in Germany – she worked as the organist at several churches in Pulheim and Düsseldorf, also appearing at the Cologne Cathedral – one of the most important sacred music spaces in Europe, as well as numerous organ music festivals and concert halls.

Upon returning to her native Korea, she taught at the Yonsei and Ewha women’s universities, and is currently a professor at the Chongshin University in Seoul, combining pedagogical work with concert performance.

For her appearance in Vilnius, she has prepared a subtle, colourfully sounding programme, which harmonises different cultures, periods and internal states of mind.
