Chance Meeting
Friday September 29th, 2023 with Heavy Ben
추석을 기념하는 현대국악 Modern Korean music to celebrate Chuseok

Chance meeting on an autumn evening of a drink and a tiger Chuseok is the Korean harvest festival or "autumn evening". Chuseok is the biggest traditional holiday in South Korea, where people visit their hometowns to pay respect to the spirits of their ancestors and share a feast of Korean traditional food. This includes ancestor memorial services at home, and visiting graves to tidy the grounds. Chuseok is a three day festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar on the full moon. We have a full moon today in Ottawa, and it is the Harvest Moon. I am taking this opportunity to play exclusively Korean music for three programs on CKCU this week.
