Rin Seo - City Suite (2025) [Hi-Res]

Korean composer and conductor Rin Seo, who is based in New York, presents her album 'City Suite'. This work, the result of ten years of creative effort, is her personal musical reflection on New York as a place of struggle and triumph. In her music, Seo uniquely combines elements of Western classical, jazz, theater, and Korean folk music to create captivating stories. The album was recorded with her 14-piece ensemble, the Rin Seo Collective, featuring special guest trumpeter Ingrid Jensen.
