The two go together don't they?

Hahn-Bin, the eyeliner-wearing Juilliard-trained violinist, debuted his original production Till Dawn Sunday last Tuesday night at Joe�s Pub. Accompanied on stage by his longtime pianist, John Blacklow, with occasional (non-musical) cameos by the actor Peter Samelson, Hahn-Bin performed 16 works by nearly 20 composers including Piazzolla, Liszt, Gershwin and Ravel.
...
Tracing Hahn-Bin�s path, from Korea to the Lower East Side, gives only a sketch of a still-young artist. Traditionalists may feel validated dismissing him with a roll of the eyes, his appearance too distracting for him to be a legitimate presence in classical music. But Hahn-Bin is clearly out to define himself on his own terms, on a scale where self-expression is paramount. |
He's taking classical music in a "new direction" with his costume act, however I'd sooner credit Kpop and their ridiculous getups for his choice. What's more, he is attempting it with a group that may not warm to extreme changes like this easily. |
