Hahn-Bin, who uses only his first name, said that defying genres in this manner is an intrinsic part of his personality. “I have never identified as Asian or American, boy or girl, classical or pop.” “What I choose to wear or how I choose to express myself visually is equally important as the music itself.” “Fashion teaches spiritual lessons. It has taught me who I am and showed me what I didn’t know about myself.” Hahn-Bin said that his use of fashion is part of an attempt to make classical music relevant to a younger generation, a modern day Naomi Claus one would say.

For his 2010-2011 concert season Hahn-Bin introduced The Renaissance of Classical Music, an umbrella title for his performance projects which aim to bring classical music to a new generation. Thus far The Renaissance has included Soliloquy for Andy Warhol; his first solo performance series at The Museum of Modern Art, The Five Poisons; the recital project inspired by Tibetan Buddhism at Rubin Museum of Art, Hammer Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Morgan Library and Museum and Konzerthaus Berlin, and Still Life; the world premiere of Christopher Cerrone’s new violin concerto, written and commissioned for Hahn-Bin by New York Youth Symphony, a performance which marked Hahn-Bin’s mainstage debut at Carnegie Hall.

I’m pretty sure queerphonics meant Klaus Nomi, not Naomi Claus.
