Juri Seo, composer and pianist, seeks to create music that encompasses extreme contrast through compositions that are unified and fluid, yet complex. She merges many of the fascinating aspects of music from the past century—in particular its expanded timbral palette and unorthodox approach to structure—with a deep love of functional tonality, counterpoint, and classical form. Her portrait albums—Mostly Piano and Respiri—are released on Innova Recordings.
