Last Friday Concert Series
In 2006 a partnership was formed between the ProArts Gallery and Bay
Area Classical Harmonies (BACH). They each felt it was important to
cross artistic genres and expose their patrons to a unique experience
where several senses were engaged at a time. Thus, the Last Friday of
the Month Concert series was created. BACH, a non-profit organization,
has been dedicated to the presentation of fine classical music in the
greater San Francisco Bay Area and is now expanding into presenting
world music.

FRIDAY Korean Art Song performance returns to Pro Arts Gallery. This
year, the Korean Art Songs will be explored around 4 seasons: Spring,
Summer, Fall and Winter. In
the 1900’s western classical music was introduced to Korea. Over time
Korean composers began fusing the European Romantic style with Korean
folk melodies and poetry. These songs tell stories of
love, longing, leaving loved ones behind, home, war and nature—
mountains, rivers, sea, birds and flowers. Featuring 5 Bay Area
Korean- American Opera Singers: Sopranos Yoonsil Kae (계윤실) and Shawn Kim (김선주), Mezzo-Soprano
Jennifer Kay (계수정), Tenor Michael Kim (김상민), and Bass Andrew Chung
(정종철)
