Concert – Yun Kim – University of Puget Sound Kilworth Memorial Chapel – Fritts Organ

Yun Kim performs works by Koehne, Bach, Gigout, Farrington, and the world premiere performance of Hina Sakamoto’s “Tamayura: The Orbs encircling me in Heaven” for organ and marimba.

Japanese composer Hina Sakamoto has created a stunning new composition for organ and marimba. In describing this work, Ms. Sakamoto says, “The word of the title, TAMAYURA, is a compound of two Japanese words: ‘tama’ which stands for ‘orb’ and ‘yura’ which stands for ‘sound’ or ‘echo.’ TAMAYURA, in this piece, is a resonance made by the mysterious orbs in heaven as they interact with one another.”
