Welcome Home!!

“Welcome Home!!” is a four-minute fanfare to celebrate the re-opening of the San Diego Symphony’s valued Jacobs Music Center after its renovation.    

While maintaining the piece’s festive nature, I combined musical styles associated with the notion of home, including folk and pop music of my native Korea, Indigenous San Diegan music (which happens to be similar to Venezuelan Joropo music), and funk jazz (which is familiar to most of the audience).  I hope the piece highlights the new hall’s fantastic acoustics and the brilliant musicianship of the San Diego Symphony’s players, in addition to welcoming the audience to their new home!!
