As there was the old saying, “Honam (the southwest of Korea) sings, dance is for Yeongnam (the southeast of Korea)”, Yeongnam is renowned for traditional dance. As the legendary painting by Kim Hong-do shows, musical instruments for a dance stage requires “Samhyeon Yukgak (lit. “six essential elements of a formal music”), which consists of jwago (hanging barrel drum played by a seated player), janggu (hourglass-shaped drum), mok-piri (small flute), gyeop-piri (small double flute), daegeum (large bamboo flute), and haegeum (a string instrument made of a vertical fiddle with two strings). However, in the entire Yeongnam region, Tongyeong is the only area where the traditional Samhyeon Yukgak has survived.
discovers the traditional dance and music passed down through generations, opens a stage and continues the traditional dance so that a new piece can be created as well. While the dance company is led by the music director Yeongman Jeong, who also plays jing (large gong) and sings gu-eum (vocalized background music without lyrics), his children Seokjin Jeong (piri), Seunghun Jeong (daegeum), and Eunju Jeong (haegeum), and his students Hyunho Lee (janggu), Seungkyun Lee (buk and percussion), Jeongmin Lee (gayageum) add profoundness and sophistication to the traditional beauty of the dance and the music.
