Interview: Christian Yom

College freshman Christian Yom, winner of FNMC’s 2023 Composition Competition for his chamber piece Sansori, was kind enough to talk to these two middle-aged ladies today about his love for Korean food and traditional music, Ravel, and lifelong learning. He encouraged us to dream big, take risks, and appreciate rejection as a part of the learning process.  https://www.christianyom.com/ Sansori: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEUCO5l8Po4 Ravel La Valse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg2i2NB-i3o National Young Composer’s Challenge: https://www.youngcomposerschallenge.org/ Charles Ives Music Festival: https://charlesivesmusicfestival.org/
