City of Fairfax Commission of the Arts

Join us as Alfred plays jazz inspired by Korean culture from his latest album, Voice and Phenomenon, as well as a few surprises!

Alfred Yun is a Korean-American jazz pianist and composer. His music is influenced by his upbringing in both Korea and the United States. You can hear influences ranging from jazz, hip hop, and K-Pop to traditional Korean music in Alfred Yun’s compositions.

Alfred was honored to be chosen by the Music Center At Strathmore as an Artist-in-Residence for the 2023-2024 season. This includes featured concerts at Strathmore’s prestigious AMP club in January and participating in programs throughout the season.
 
In 2025, Alfred Yun released his album, Voice and Phenomenon, which investigates the different ways we use the voice — gibberish, games, poems, singing, spoken word, laughter, and more. The album invites the listener into an intimate account of these disparate voices and sounds. It is the most personal and revealing work of his career. Voice and Phenomenon was listed on Capital Bop's Top DC Jazz Albums of 2025.

The Silent and Sound Treatment: Half Day Retreat with Marjorie Ames and Christine Clardy

  • Sunday, October 18, 2026

  • 1:00  PM - 5:00 PM

  • Sun & Moon Yoga in Fairfax (map)

Autumn energy is everywhere. Nature has ripened into her summer peak, and our bodies may feel a corresponding lean into fullness. Yet autumn also sends messages of letting go: falling leaves, chillier air, and shorter days all remind us to make space and prepare for the winter to come.

This local, half-day retreat includes time for both experiences. First, gentle reiki relaxation and sound bathing allow us to consciously experience our own energetic nature, so we may open and absorb nature’s rich vitality. Next, periods of supportive, intentional silence empower us to discern a personal path of release into the calm and equanimity that will see us through winter.

Thoughtfully curated for all levels of experience, no previous knowledge is required or expected for these peaceful yet potent practices. We provide the practicalities (including yoga mats, props, a selection of teas, healthy snacks, and Marjorie’s famously delicious GF cookies!). You only need to bring your willingness to flow with the seasonal energy that abounds. After all, aren’t we all made of that same energy?
