Traditional Korean Music Concert

/in , , /by

Join us in celebrating Korean Family Month!

A traditional Korean Music concert from meditative court music to folk music will be performed by two instrumentalists: Iksoo Heo on Geomungo (a 6-string zither with a stick) and Grace Kang on Haegum (a string instrument with a bow).

Iksoo Heo from South Korea is a distinguished geomungo performer, engaged in not only the traditional Korean Music but also collaborating with a wide range of contemporary music.

Grace Kang has performed widely across the United States, including her 2010 New York solo recital “haegeum for the Heart,” presented by the Korea Society. She has also appeared at major international festivals such as the Richmond Folk Festival and the Mexico Chihuahua Internaional Festival.

This event is co-sponsored by the Korean Cultural Society of Boston and the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library.

Chair Yoga with Erica at the Main Library

/in /by

Join local yoga instructor Erica for yoga with a chair. If you’ve felt that yoga is too challenging or you struggle to get on and off the floor, this class could be great for you. We will explore all the benefits of yoga in a supportive way using a chair. We will strengthen, balance, and stretch our bodies, find stillness in our minds, and fullness in our breath all while using a chair to explore traditional yoga poses and functional movement exercises. Options will be given for students to remain seated the whole class, or to explore some standing poses throughout.

Bio: A yoga student for 20 years and a teacher for over 18 years, Erica’s classes are uplifting and playful, yet rooted in functional movement and the great inquiry of the self. In addition to being a yoga teacher, Erica is an acupressure practitioner and has studied anatomy, therapeutics and functional movement extensively. She is passionate about working with the prenatal and postnatal community. When not on the mat, she can be found with her family, her camera, and nature!
