Description
Ensemble Mik Nawooj performs innovative music of composer/pianist JooWan Kim, which blends such genres as classical, hip-hop, film music, jazz, and pop into a unique musical hybrid.Since the first public performance in spring of 2005, EMN has gathered much attention and shock from various music fans for its uncompromising blend of rap and classical. Ensemble Mik Nawooj is, by far, the only band that successfully merged the vernacular with traditional Western European music without losing the integrity of both genres. EMN, however, is neither a hip-hop band nor classical ensemble. It lies in the common place where all music lives and breathes, expanding and transmuting its sound.
Leader of Mik Nawooj, JooWan Kim is a Taoist/Zen practitioner as well as a connoisseur of fine tea. In 2006, JooWan signed a management contract with the Jazz Legend Ahmad Jamal (2006-2009). In 2007, he received a lifetime endorsement from the Steinway and Sons Piano Company.
