PAN Project is an ensemble rooted in the Chinese, Korean and Japanese music traditions of East Asia with a special emphasis on this region’s rich and long history of intercultural interaction. The word ‘pan’ in the ensemble’s name is taken from the Korean music-storytelling tradition ‘pansori’ and means to gather or come together. In this sense PAN Project is about coming together and telling stories through music and performance: from creations that draw on the rich intercultural music traditions of East Asian instrumental performance, ritual and theatre, to modern influences, drawing on improvisation, Western composition and interactive technology.
