SOUNDS OF EAST ASIA: The group IIIZ+ (Three Zee Plus) performed for an audience inside the Mansfield Freeman Center for East Asian Studies Oct. 11. From left to right are Ryuko Mizutani playing a Japanese koto; Yi-Chieh Lai, playing a Chinese zheng; Il-Ryun Chung playing Korean percussion; and Jocelyn Collette Clark ’92 playing a Korean kayagum. Combining these instruments is not traditional in East Asia. |

| Clark, who majored in East Asian studies, says the ensemble relies on collaborations with contemporary composers in order to build its repertoire. |
