G.E.M.iN.Y, short for Gayakeum Ensemble Music in New York, derives from the Korean phrase, "chaeminaji" meaning to have fun while performing. The ensemble, composed of founder, Rami Seo and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation gayakeumists, debuted in the form of a gayakeum orchestra in 2007 with "If This Gayakeum Could Talk.” In addition to performing traditional Korean music on the 12-string gayakeum, G.E.M.iN.Y plays music of all genres, including classical, jazz, crossover, and contemporary, on 18-string and 25-string gayakeums. To celebrate GEMiNY's 10th year anniversary in 2017, the concert will showcase world music that brings together traditional Korean culture and the diversity of cultures in New York.
