Shoko NAGAI
Grants
To study traditional Korean music and explore the differences and shared sensibilities between Korean and Japanese musical aesthetics. Nagai will engage deeply with the practice, history, and philosophy of Korean traditional music by meeting and studying with musicians across various disciplines in Seoul and other cities and rural communities. Through lessons, interviews, and collaborative observation, she aims to understand not only technical mastery, but also the cultural contexts and lived experiences that shape these musical forms and the intersections and divergenaesthetics. Nagai hopes this fellowship will deepen her capacities as a musician, composer, and cultural interlocutor and inform future works that resonate beyond academic and artistic spheres.
