This was in the Korean Focus newsletter and tickets are only $20!
The first is Kang Eun-il & Haegum Plus: Remembering the Future. The Kennedy Center website describes the program:
Korea Foundation presents rising new cross-over musical group Haegum Plus, directed by Kang Eun-il. Their signature musical style fuses Korean traditional music with non-traditional genres like jazz and classical music. Kang plays the traditional haegum--a stringed instrument resembling a fiddle--to create distinctive sounds with special appeal for universal audiences.

The other is a Korean cooking class at L’Academie de Cuisine on August 9th in Gaithersburg. This is exciting given that Korean cuisine is sometimes overlooked in favor of Chinese or Japanese cuisine. I was very happy to see something that was specific to Korea.
It’s a participation class so you get to actually prepare dishes and the menu includes:
Japchae (Stir-Fried Glass Noodles); Jigae (Soft Tofu and Chili Pepper Stew); Seafood and Spring Onion Pancakes with Dipping Sauce; make KIMCHI by yourself!
If you’re interested, visit the school’s website and look at the calendar for recreational classes: http://www.lacademie.com/.
