We've collaborated this time with the guitar ensemble konstanz, an amateur group that has a truly professional attitude and sound. It was such a great time that we are hoping to perform more works together in the future.

Here's the link to their website, sorry it's only in german!

Enjoy the refreshing mix of cello, guitar and guitar ensemble!

fuegokoori symbolizes the explosive synergy of the elemental opposites of fire and ice. my name is robert sang-ung choi, the initiator of fuegokoori, and I began with a dream of performing works for cello and guitar. my first step was to outline the musical program by seeking out classical and modern music for this rare but exciting combination; even writing some of my own arrangements and original works. this concept came to its fruition at the first fuegokoori concert on October 31, 2003 at the famed musikhalle in hamburg, germany.

now an internationally acclaimed ensemble, fuegokoori explores crossovers of extreme emotions and soul-searching themes, featuring obscure works of more celebrated composers like paganini, sarasate, piazzolla and de falla, directly contrasted with works by leading japanese and chinese composers like mayuzumi toshiro and zhou long. experience the refreshing juxtaposition of asian calm and tranquility with flamenco's exuberance and fire!
