Conundrum is a monthly concert series featuring 2 different drummers playing both solo then as a duo in an incredible acoustic space.

We are very fortunate to have two exciting drummers, Rad Juli and Mili Hong for our twelfth installation of this series. Huge thanks to Greg Samek for hosting and co-curating this event in his beautiful space.

Mili Hong began playing drums at the age of 16. She spent most of her life in South Korea until her early 20s when she moved to Vancouver, Canada to study English and Music. Although she originally planned to move back to Korea after completing her studies, she decided to remain in Vancouver to experiment and explore her new life in Canada’s thriving and diverse music scene. At Capilano University she received a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies, majoring in Instrumental Performance and played in various ensembles from small combos to big bands which exposed her to numerous chances to explore different styles of drumming, while also studying with drum instructors Graham Boyle, Blaine Wikjord, Dave Robbins, and Dylan van der Schyff. While playing in Capilano University’s “A” band, under the direction of Juno award-winning Brad Turner, she had the chance to play with notable guest artists such as Ian Froman, Mike Murley, and Randy Brecker. Mili is becoming an important member of Vancouver’s Jazz scene through her playing in the Leo Bae Trio and the Eli Davidovici Band but has also been involved in her alternative rock project, Moondle. Her lifetime goal is to continue learning about her art and herself through her continuous study of music and language.
