Chaos Theory Music artist Kang Eun-il's Haegum Plus will be kicking off their 'Remembering the Future' East coast tour this Thursday, April 24th at New York's Queens Theater in the Park.
Kang Eun-il is among the elite group of musicians out of Korea that are making music history with their boundary-crossing musical innovations in a genre that is increasingly known as "new traditional" music. Haegum Plus' lyrical and accessible sounds have enabled the group to cross over from the niche traditional music market into the Korean mainstream.
Kang Eun-il and her group Haegum Plus play beautifully mesmerizing music that seamlessly weave between the old and new, East and West. They have released 2 CDs thus far in Korea and in Europe, "Ancient Futures" and "Remembering the Future", both of which are soon to be distributed in the U.S. through Chaos Theory Music.
Haegum Plus kicks off the 5-city tour on the east coast this Thursday at the Asian Cultural Festival hosted by Queens Theater in the Park in Flushing, New York.
To listen to the music of Kang Eun-il's Haegum Plus or for information on tour details, please go to the Chaos Theory Music website .

This Workshop for Ethics in Business luncheon will explore the
codes of online conduct that are emerging as new media gains more influence in
political and business affairs. Going beyond commonsense ethical codes on the
Internet, such as honesty, accuracy, and transparency, this panel will examine
the relationship between money, the media, and the health of American democracy.
What role does private money play in influencing elections and how does this
influence play out in the blogosphere? How is the media performing as a watchdog
for our political system? What companies and media organizations are advancing a
more ethical internet society?
Steven C. Clemons, publisher of The Washington Note,
will speak on political blogging, blogging ethics, and money in politics. PBS
Ombudsman Michael Getler will discuss the challenges to traditional
media from new media. Rita J.
King of Dancing Ink Productions will talk about the evolving ethics of
virtual worlds and their use in public diplomacy. New York University Professor
of Journalism Jay Rosen will draw on his experience as a press critic and
innovator of new media projects.
This event is cosponsored by Booz Allen
Hamilton's strategy+business magazine and the NYU Center for Global Affairs, and is part of the Ethical Blogger
Project.
