As before, I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to spend time here in Korea. Until then, 안녕히 계십시오~!

I am proud to have represented Canada while doing so, and honoured to have shared the stage with Maclaine Diemer, Catherine Joy, and Hyunmin "Gangyu" Kang. My thanks again to Michael Choi for arranging this wonderful opportunity for all of us.

...and just like that, still buzzing from last night's performance, and as much as I wish I could stay longer, it's time for me to head home.

I am ever grateful for the opportunity to have had a new piece premiered by the brilliant musicians of the Grand Philharmonic Orchestra.

I look forward to sharing the stage with fellow composers Catherine Joy, Maclaine Diemer, and Hyunmin "Gangyu" Gang.

I am truly grateful to the Grand Philharmonic Orchestra, Sorina Studio, and Michael Choi for this opportunity.

Now boarding! See you soon, Seoul!

I'm on my way to Seoul for the world premiere of my latest composition, "추도/In Memoriam," commissioned by the Grand Philharmonic Orchestra for performance at the Never Forgotten 2024: War and Peace concert, and to be a guest speaker at the Hollywood in Korea 2024 Winter Composer Forum!
I am deeply honoured to have been chosen to represent Canada at this performance, and thrilled to be sharing the stage with @maclaine.bsky.social (🇺🇸), Catherine Joy (🇦🇺), and Gangyu (🇰🇷)!

If you happen to be within proximity of Seoul, you won't want to miss this.

While I am sad to be leaving, I am ready to come home. I am already looking forward to making subsequent journeys here... with better Korean skills next time!

See you soon, Toronto! Until next time, Korea! 안녕히계세요~

This is it. My special birthday trip to Korea and Japan is now coming to an end. It is difficult to properly express all of my thoughts at the moment, but I will say that I am thankful for all of the experiences I have had over the past nearly-6 weeks.

(1/2)
For now, I have returned to Korea, where I'll be staying for a bit before I go back home to Toronto.

#다녀왔습니다
I had been missing Japan since the day I left nearly 16 years ago. The 2 weeks have been fulfilling beyond measure, and yet, for as much as I was able to see and experience, there remains much still on my list that I will have to save for another time... hopefully sooner than 16 years from now.
My Japanese is a little more rusty than it was 16 years ago, but I'm looking forward to returning, both to revisit old haunts and experience places new to me.

Next stop: Fukuoka!

#NowBoarding
The first portion of this trip has been enjoyable and meaningful, from the majesty of Seoul to the history of Gyeongju to the bustle of Busan.

Now, the adventure continues as I travel from the Land of the Morning Calm to the Land of the Rising Sun!

(1/2)
In the spirit of rekindling my sense of adventure and doing cool things again, I'm off to Korea and Japan for a 40th birthday present to myself! Next stop: #ICN!
