Welcome! And, may I add, congratulations. You are attending one of New York’s and America’s essential meeting houses, music venues and cultural institutions. I know that you will find the Town Hall Presents programming you are attending tonight to be timely and compelling. And each of our productions is an expression of our commitment to bring you significant, unique, eclectic and down right delightful events throughout the calendar year.
There is no place like The Town Hall. Founded “to promote good citizenship, social justice and general enlightenment through the education and expression of public opinion,” our hall’s world-class acoustics quickly became a calling card, and for over a century, playing The Town Hall stage continues to be a ‘must’ for musicians and singers from all genres and backgrounds.
Whether visiting our storied auditorium for the first time, or returning to experience yet another great night live on our stage, you can feel the vitality in the room. The Town Hall is truly contemporary; purpose-built to open its doors to art, ideas and especially to you.
Upon its dedication in 1921, The League for Political Education opened the building you are now sitting in with the watchwords:
“It does not matter who you are, what you are, or from where you come, you are welcome.”
As president of the non-profit organization that preserves our landmarked auditorium and produces the Town Hall Presents events like the one you are attending tonight, I thank you for coming to The Town Hall. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, and our incredible staff of professionals, I echo the sentiment of our founders and assure you that you are always welcome here.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
A Word from Oscar-winning Director Bong Joon-Ho
I was ecstatic to hear that Byeong Woo would be performing at the Town Hall in New York on April 20th as I had worked with him on three of my films -- The Host (2006), Tokyo (2008), and Mother (2009) -- and we had the most exciting of collaborations. His music has been critical to my filmography, and his dedication to the films undoubtedly played a large part in their success.
Byeong Woo has long been a preeminent figure in Korean music, and I was a huge fan even before working together. I have always been inspired by his boundless passion for creating music, and I am excited and honored that he will be performing the score of my film Mother.

The celebrated South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho is best known for his Academy Award and Palme d’Or-winning film Parasite, but perhaps his most critically acclaimed movie to date is the 2009 film noir, Mother. The taut thriller tells the story of a woman obsessed with finding the true killer behind the murder for which her son stands accused. Fans of Bong’s later work will recognize the master’s touch in the film’s dark humor, careful pacing, and beautifully framed images. The director outlined the film in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter: “The mother is not actually a detective. But what she is doing is following her maternal instincts. And I want to show how far she will go. How extreme she becomes. And in doing so, I want to push the audience, too.”
Composer Lee carries the ‘extreme’ element to the film’s score concept by exaggerating the range of the storytelling with contrasting melodies. As an example, he points to the reconstruction of the crime scene as segments that are especially popular in Korea, featuring his unnervingly-titled song “Festival”. Says director Bong: “His music has been critical to my filmography and his dedication to the films undoubtedly played a large part in their success.”
Melay Araya, the Artistic Director of The Town Hall, underscores the importance of this debut and its place in her programming vision: “Byeong Woo Lee is truly one of modern cinema’s greatest composers. It’s an honor to present him both as composer of Bong Joon-Ho’s classic film Mother and also as one of the most inventive guitarists working today. This live score event is the kick-off for The Town Hall’s K-Town Hall series, which will include classic musical acts such as Jaurim, literary events with artists like Aram Kim, and much more.”
Mother premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival to much acclaim, particularly for actress Kim Hye-ja who went on to win the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress. Mother repeated its critical success on the international film festival circuit and appeared on many film critics’ “Best Of” lists of 2010.
Prior to the screening and live performance of the score, composer and guitarist Byeong Woo Lee, known as an icon of unique Korean film music, is set to make his New York debut. Audiences will get a first-hand look at Lee’s unique guitar stylings that run the gamut from classical to jazz to new age through his own original approach to the

ABOUT
acoustic guitar. His set will include selections from his film scores, with orchestral support, and compositions from his six solo guitar albums and a classical piece by Albéniz.
Audiences will first take notice of a very different-looking guitar, a creation of Lee’s described by those who have witnessed him playing it as “a remarkably ungainly guitar with double steel/nylon necks and two soundboards,” and with its low tension and thin strings sounding a bit like a dobro. Explains Lee: “I’ve developed several new ways to play guitar, the most prominent of which is a scale concept I’ve dubbed ‘crazy fingers’. In a nutshell, it’s a way to play scales using a wider range of guitar frets with more leaps than usual, resulting in a different timbre and an awareness of the entire guitar fingerboard. My concept is to play in between the scale blocks. It is a different way to bring colors. I’m excited to be the first to perform this method on stage in New York City, in hopes that guitar players will come to love it.”
ABOUT BYEONG WOO LEE
Byeong Woo Lee is a classical and electric guitarist, composer, educator, and guitar designer. Although best known for his Korean film scores, his performances range from historical classical guitar repertoire to contemporary music. Lee started playing the guitar when he was 11 years old, debuting as a professional guitarist and songwriter at the age of 20. His first two pop albums, Someday1 (1986) and Someday2 (1988), were a massive success. In 1989, Lee released his first solo guitar album, The Picture of the Giraffe
I Drew - Voyage, followed by For Tea Time Alone (1990), Thinking Without Thinking (1993), Night Flight (1995), Absorption (2003), and Odd Strumming of the Universe (2016).
As a classical guitarist, he has performed with many orchestras, including the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic, Korean Symphony, KBS Symphony, and more. In 1989 he moved to Vienna,
@TownHallNYC | 7
Austria to study classical guitar at the University of Music and Performing Arts with Professor Konrad Ragossnig, graduating with the Einstimmige Auszeichnung honors in 1994. After graduating from Vienna, Austria, he lived in Seoul for a year before moving to Baltimore, Maryland where he continued his studies as a full scholarship student at the prestigious Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University with Prof. Julian Gray from 1996 to 2000, during which he created film scores for two films; Three Friends and Their Own World.
Since returning to Seoul in 2000, he has been performing and composing film scores to wide acclaim, including A Tale of Two Sisters, Mother, The Host, Ode to My Father, The Face Reader, and The King and the Clown— films that have rewritten Korean box office history. In addition, he has composed 27 original soundtracks for other films. In recognition of his multi-faceted artistic talents, he was appointed Artistic Director of the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2013 Pyeongchang Special Olympics and 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. As an educator, he taught as the chairman of the Department of Contemporary Pop Music at Sungshin Women’s University from 2010 to 2019.
His innovative vision is evidenced by the original designs of his guitars and constant experimentation with the future of the instrument. In 2020, he shifted his focus to performance, and in 2022, he was invited to the Ghent Film Festival in Belgium to perform with the Brussels Philharmonic. He is currently developing a new way of playing guitar that he will demonstrate at his first major U.S. concert at New York’s Town Hall in April 2024.
ABOUT MOTHER
The film from award-winning Korean director Bong Joon-ho (The Host) is a unique murder mystery about a mother’s primal love for her son.
Mother is a devoted single parent to her simple-minded twenty-sevenyear-old son, Do-joon. Often a source of anxiety to his mother, Do-joon behaves in foolish or simply dangerous ways. One night, while walking home drunk, he encounters a school girl who he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning, she is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. An inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force result in a speedy conviction. His mother refuses to believe her beloved son is guilty and immediately undertakes her own investigation to find the girl’s killer. In her obsessive quest to clear her son’s name, Mother steps into a world of unimaginable chaos and shocking revelations.

ABOUT BONG JOON-HO
Bong Joon-ho is a South Korean film director, producer, and screenwriter. The recipient of three Academy Awards, his filmography is characterized by emphasis on social and class themes, genre-mixing, black humor, and sudden tone shifts. He first became known to audiences and achieved a cult following with his directorial debut film, the black comedy Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000), before achieving both critical and commercial success with his subsequent films besides Mother (2009), the crime thriller Memories of Murder (2003), the monster film The Host (2006), the science fiction action film Snowpiercer (2013), which served as Bong’s English language debut, and the near-universally acclaimed black comedy thriller Parasite (2019), all of which are among the highestgrossing films in South Korea, with Parasite also being the highestgrossing South Korean film in history.
KAREN HAN ON MOTHER
In most of Bong Joon Ho’s movies, family is a source of empowerment. The love and support that families—natural, found, or otherwise—offer each other is a safe haven and, more importantly, a conduit for hope. For his fourth and bleakest feature, Mother (2009), Bong takes that dynamic a step further, into the realm of obsession. Familial love is still an all–powerful force, but here it warps into something dangerous and destructive.

Where maternal figures were absent from the piecemeal family at the center of The Host (2006), they are front and center in Mother. The film stars Kim Hye–ja as a widow who is never given a name, as if playing up her role as the archetypal mother to end all mothers, and whose sole care in the world is to tend to her son Do–joon (Won Bin), whose learning disability also makes him something of an outcast in their community. When Do–joon is accused of murdering a local schoolgirl, she embarks upon a quest to prove him innocent. As she becomes more and more desperate, so too does the film become increasingly grim and bloody, culminating in perhaps the most wrenching—and certainly the darkest ending of any of Bong’s movies. Yes, his films avoid straightforward happily ever afters—even 2017 satire Okja, the closest thing he has to a family–friendly movie, ends by stressing that not everyone can be saved—but Mother forgoes even the faintest glimmer of light.
It’s not just that darkness, however, that makes Mother stand out. The film is also the most streamlined of Bong’s works, largely forgoing the heavier, more explicit social commentary present in The Host and Memories of Murder (2003) by focusing on a single main character rather than an ensemble. Though other characters occasionally share the spotlight, notably Do–joon and his ne’er–do–well friend Jin–tae (Jin Goo), the mother is the movie’s driving force. Everyone else is a passive presence.

ABOUT NEXT TO SILENCE
NEXT TO SILENCE: An aesthetic where turbulence and tranquility coexist.
NEXT TO SILENCE was founded in 2009 as a New York-based record label. Over the past 15 years, it has transformed into a multifaceted creative organization that helps artists around the world expand their careers in a variety of ways.
The vision for NEXT TO SILENCE was inspired by the creation story in Genesis 1. Before creation, the earth was still formless and empty. God, with His creative power, broke through the chaos and emptiness with four simple words, “Let there be light.” He took hold of the silence and placed new sounds, new forms, and new creation in its place.
Building upon this inspiration, NEXT TO SILENCE endeavors to create music and culture that not only breaks through the hearts of people but also allows them to experience the light of creation. We strive to attract artists from diverse backgrounds to produce music and various events that emphasize their authentic and organic essence. Our goal is to introduce new perspectives and elements to the artist’s work through the process of creation and exploration.
We are honored to share with you the New York debut concert of Byeong Woo Lee, which we have been working with Town Hall on for the past year, and we sincerely hope that this concert will speak to your hearts in a language of mystery and wonder that words cannot explain. ©

Next To Silence 는 2009 년 뉴욕에 기반을 둔 음반사로 설립되었습니다. 지난 15년 동안 전 세계 예술가들이 다양한 방식으로 경력을 확장할 수 있도록 돕는 다면적인 창의적인 조직으로 변모했습니다.
Next To Silence 의 비전은 창세기 1에 나오는 창조 이야기에서 영감을 받았습니다. 창조 이전, 지구는 아무런 형태도 없고 비어 있었습니다. 하나님은 창조의 능력으로, “빛이 있으라” 라는 말로 혼돈과 공허를 돌파했습니다. 그는 침묵을 붙잡고 그 자리에 새로운 소리, 새로운 형태, 새로운 창조물을 만들었습니다. 이러한 영감을 바탕으로 Next To Silence 는 사람들의 마음에 창조의 빛을 경험할 수 있는 음악과 예술 문화를 만들기 위해 노력하고 다양한 배경을 가진 예술가들이 그들의 진실하고 본질적인 특성이 드러나는 음악과 문화를 만들고자 합니다.
Next To Silence 는 이러한 창조 예술의 탐구 과정을 통해 예술가의 작품에 새로운 관점과 요소를 도입하고 사람들에게 창조의 능력을 경험할 수 있도록 돕는 것을 목적으로 하는 것에 있습니다.
지난 일 년간 타운 홀과 협력하며 준비한 기타리스트 이병우의 뉴욕 데뷔 공연을 여러분과 함께할 수 있어 영광입니다. 이번 공연을 통해 말로 설명할 수 없는 신비로움과 놀라움의 언어가 여러분의 마음에 닿기를 진심으로 바랍니다.
