About Sun-Mi Hong
Edition Records identifies Hong as a South Korean drummer based in Amsterdam. Its biography traces her arrival in the city, the formation of her quintet, and a practice in which composition provides structure while leaving room for collective improvisation.[2]
Hong’s official calendar documents both Amsterdam performances and a wider network of quintet, orchestra, duo, and improvised projects. The entries distinguish the Sun-Mi Hong Quintet from BIDA Orchestra and collaborations such as TILIA, Noctilume, and one-off invited groups.[1]
Her artist Bandcamp catalog brings together the quintet releases, BIDA Orchestra, REFLEX: Invisible Ropes, and the 2025 Edition Records album Fourth Page: Meaning of a Nest. That sequence offers a direct listening map from small-group writing to expanded ensemble work.[3][2]
Sun-Mi Hong Quintet
Edition’s biography dates the group’s formation to 2017 and describes original composition and open improvisation as its shared framework.[2]
Fourth Page
The 2025 album continues Hong’s numbered leader series through an Edition Records release.[1][3]
Amsterdam collaborations
The official calendar records recurring work at Zaal 100, Murmur, OCCII, Splendor, BIMHUIS, and other city stages.[1]
