Inger Marie Gundersen (Plus Hitch) |
Norwegian jazz artist Inger Marie Gundersen will hold a concert with Korean guitarist Park Youn-woo on Sunday in Seoul.
Production agency Plus Hitch said on Friday that Gundersen is visiting Korea for the tenth time to meet Korean fans, but is not bringing her regular band members. Instead, Korean guitarist Park Youn-woo and his trio will accompany the vocalist.
Park is one of the few guitarists in Korea to cover a wide range of genres ranging from jazz to classical. Park earned a graduate degree in jazz studies in Amsterdam and later released his first album “De Jaren” in Korea.
At the concert, Gundersen will sing popular songs including “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” “I Will,” “I Don’t Want To Talk About It” and “Song For You Far Away.”
The Norwegian artist was spotlighted in 2004 as a newly rising European jazz star with her debut album “Make This Moment,” which topped several jazz music charts in Europe and Japan for weeks.
In 2010, she participated in the album “Arirang -- The Name Of Korean” co-produced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korean Traditional Performing Arts Foundation.
