Interviewer: “My interviewee Ki-hong Jang, who won the 3rd prize in the instrumental competition, is originally from Korea. But he is continuing his creative activity in the United States.”

Ki-hong Jang : “I’m really honored with this 3rd prize. My impression about Baku is that it is a city where modern and history coexist. Newly built buildings and buildings of the Soviet era gave me a stunning emotion. The musician who I collaborated with on the Gala concert amazes me with his traditional Azerbaijani music sound. Salaam alaikum salaam Azerbaijan!”
