Chi-Da is pianist/composer Eunhye Jeong's free improvisation project that aims for synergetic creation through uncompromisingly colliding with each other. The past Chi-Da projects materialized into Jeong's solo piano record and a new album "The Colliding Beings, Chi-Da" (Audioguy) that features Korean traditional narrative music Pansori along with cello, drums, and piano.

In this particular performance, Jeong invited Francisco Mela (drums), Allison Burik (alt sax/bass clarinet), Max Ridley (bass) and Mina Kim (cello) to join Chi-Da. The ensemble will also premiere a part of Jeong's new composition KM-53, Latitudinal Band (solo cello) and Visually.

This concert also celebrates Jeong's new release The Colliding Beings, Chi-Da. Check out a comprehensive feature article about her music on Bandcamp Daily
