Book of Hours
The cancelled concert
Yeol Eum Son

In this ‘Book of Hours’, the renowned South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son speaks of the present and the past in a gesture that joins the world through the musicians that come together to perform. The pandemic traverses this diary as a reminder of the risk it presents to our lives. The concert that the artist cancelled at the last minute is a symbol of frustrated disappointment that she hopes to transform into the joy of hope – the hope that live music, currently silenced, will be heard again one day.
