WASHINGTON SORICHUNG
is an organization dedicated to the cultivation of Korean classical music and other Korean traditional arts. It was found in 2007 by Eunsu Kim and has branches in Fairfax Virginia.
Our mission is to promote Korean traditional music in Washington DC metro area through education, performances, and cultural enrichment programs. This mission extends to Americans with an interest in Korea, Koreans living in the United States, and the children of Korean immigrants who wish to rediscover their heritage.
Through events in schools, Sorichung provides American students with exposure to Korean culture. As part of U.S School Tour Project, Sorichung has toured schools to bring primary, secondary, and university students the experience of Korean traditional singing, instruments, and dancing. Sorichung also builds on American students’ prior knowledge of Korean culture by providing similar enrichment programs at Tae-Kwon-Do Academies in the region. As an extension of its educational mission, Sorichung provides these educational programs to adult audiences sponsored by the Korean Cultural Center in Washington DC, the Korean Embassy, Korean Heritage Foundation, and the Korea Foundation.
Sorichung also assists the Korean immigrant community by collaborating with Korean cultural associations. Through Sorichung, Korean immigrants sustain their cultural traditions while being able to share them with a new generation of Korean-Americans. Director Kim has performed at the Tidewater Korean American Association, the Korean-American Han-Geul Education Association, and the among other venues to keep artistic traditions alive in the local Korean community. Sorichung also provides courses in Korean singing with an emphasis on Korean language acquisition, for Korean-Americans who wish to improve their language skills. For young adult Koreans and Korean-Americans, Sorichung has partnered with Korean Student Associations at Universities around the country including Bergan Community College in New Jersey, William’s College in Massachusetts, and Georgetown and George Washington University in the Washington, DC area, Virginia Tech, and Maryland University.
In addition, Sorichung serves the community by providing the highest quality education in Korean traditional arts possible and giving its students access to professional-level performance opportunities. Sorichung features instruction in Pansori (Korean traditional singing) and other Korean traditional arts such as Samul-Nori (percussion), Gayageum (a string instrument), and Korean traditional dancing. Sorichung also facilitates exchanges with teachers from Korea to give students the opportunity take lessons from other outstanding musicians. In particular, Sorichung has hosted Korean masters of Pansori, Korean wind instruments, and specialists in childhood arts education to give special workshops to its members and collaborate with its mission. Also, as of 2014, Washington Sorichung is a Certifying Organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) in the U.S.
Sorichung’s members give regular performances at venues such as the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, and colleges around the country, such as Williams College and the University of Maryland. Sorichung students also compete in international competitions, such as the annual World Korean Traditional Performing Art Competition. Through these activities, the over eighty members who make up Sorichung spread the enchantment and joy of Korean traditional music in America.
