Dear Friends,
We’re excited to invite you to the inaugural edition of our newest performing arts series, Pentiment Series, this Friday, November 22nd at 8:00pm (doors open at 7:00pm).
Join us at the beautiful and historic WAH Center for this monthly series showcasing genre defying artists from all corners of the creative, and improvised music world. The mission of this innovative series is to foster a contemporary audience for live performance through unique and thoughtful programming.
Featuring:
DoYeon Kim, a traditionally trained Korean artist playing the gayageum, a traditional Korean string instrument. She has developed a uniquely broad approach to music, which incorporates Korean music, jazz, and improvisation, among other influences, and is credited with introducing the gayageum into the improvisational music scene worldwide.
Steve Long’s trio PRNCX, featuring their debut album VĪXĪ. The title comes from superstitions surrounding numbers, specifically the roman numeral XVII, and its invocations of death. This record though, is not about death. It is about cyclical forms, the part containing the whole, people and things embodying their antithesis
Living Sound Lab a collaborative large ensemble whose modular cast of players come from all corners of New York’s improvisation communities. The group is dedicated explorations on the boundary between composition and improvisation.
In addition to the evening’s performance, this event will include the opportunity to enjoy drinks and light snacks in the art gallery before and after the show, featuring our latest showcase, Detritus!

About The WAH Center
In late October 1996, Yuko Nii founded the non-profit The WAH Center (Williamsburg Art & Historical Center) based upon her Bridge Concept. That concept envisions a multifaceted, multicultural art center whose mission is to coalesce the diverse artistic community, and create a bridge between local, national and international artists, emerging and established artists, and artists of all disciplines. Thus through the international language of art we come to understand each other to create a more peaceful and integrated world. The WAH Center is a force for peace and understanding and its concept is incorporated in its acronym: “WAH” in Japanese means “peace” or “harmony” or “unity”.
Gallery Hours: Sunday, 1pm to 5pm
