BIG OCEAN to Perform at Caramoor's Rosen House Music Room
PJ, Chanyeon, and Jiseok blend Korean and American Sign Language into their performances.
Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, New York, will present a concert by BIG OCEAN, a K-pop trio composed of artists who are hard of hearing, in the Rosen House Music Room. The performance is scheduled for 7:30pm.
Big Ocean is the world's first K-pop group composed of artists who are hard of hearing, redefining what performance and accessibility can look like on a global stage. Since their debut in 2024, the trio has gained international recognition for seamlessly incorporating Korean Sign Language (KSL), American Sign Language (ASL), and visual storytelling into their performances, proving that music can be experienced far beyond sound. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to create a world where music is accessible to everyone.
Through their music, performances, and global outreach, Big Ocean continues to inspire audiences around the world, demonstrating that differences can become strengths and that music has the power to connect people across every language and barrier.
When Big Ocean visited Caramoor this past June, they fell in love with the historic Rosen House and all Caramoor has to offer. They tested out Lucie Rosen's theremin, played the piano, and gave an impromptu private performance on the Music Room stage. They enjoyed the space so much that they are returning to Katonah for this very special evening.
Caramoor, once the estate of music and art lovers Walter and Lucie Rosen, is one of the region's most distinctive destinations for live performance, cultural engagement, and exploration. This concert, as well as Caramoor's Rosen House Concert Series, will be held in the exquisite Music Room of the historic home – a Mediterranean-style villa from 1939 filled with treasures from around the world. Audiences enjoy performances by some of today's most in-demand artists in the same living room salon setting where the Rosens once entertained their many friends. The estate's gardens and grounds are also open year round to visitors, free of charge, for picnicking and walking daily from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
