World Music Ensemble E-Do is an ensemble of six talented musicians who combine traditional and contemporary rhythms with consummate ease. The group’s name comes from the first name of King Sejong the Great, a towering figure during Korea’s ancient Joseon Dynasty.
The philosophical background for E-Do's music is to create music for the modern era that can be enjoyed by all and to share it freely in Korea and beyond.
E-Do presents audiences with the traditions of Korean traditional music, known as gugak, as well as modern Korean music, along with an engaging mix of traditional and modern instruments, highlighting the beauty and balance of traditional Korean music. The group’s works include original songs based on traditional music as well as fresh interpretations of traditional repertoires.

Reverend Albert Lee Wagner: Miracle At Midnight
Tuesday, November 7, 10:30am–12pm
Tuesday, November 7, 10:30am–12pm
The American Visionary Art Museum would like to invite you to a free lecture at AVAM on Tuesday, November 7, 10:30am–12pm. It's on the first national retrospective of the Reverend Albert Lee Wagner’s work. Born in the south to sharecroppers, it was when his family moved to Ohio that he finally felt the freedom to paint “story pictures” about the horrors of racism and prejudice that he had witnessed in Arkansas. Accompanied by his handwritten testimony, his work provides rich visual testimony to a life begun amidst dire poverty, to one that devolved into excess and lust, and finally one that attained spiritual peace and a love for all humanity.
