SUMMARY:Insun Park and the Generals to perform at Cedar Cultural Center

Park is a leading force in shaping the future of Korean traditional performing arts. \nHeadiners Insun Park and the Generals will be joined by Black Widows\, a surf-punk-psyche band from Minneapolis. The Black Widows have toured nationally and internationally\, and have a full-length album Creatures of the Night\, coming out this spring. \nThe Korean Institute of Minnesota\, a Saturday culture and language school for children and adults\, located in Minneapolis\, is the cultural partner for this event.
