The performance is based on Dr. VanHemert~s second album, ~Nomad~ where he explores concepts of home and what it means to explore Korean American identity through Jazz. In his words, ~In this project, I reharmonized several Korean folk and children~s songs to present them to new audiences and preserve our musical culture.~ His band members also bring many different Korean identities.
