[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Orchestra The Original announced on the 8th that it will hold a performance of the artist project group TEAMBOTTA's "Forest of Tam, Embracing Classics."

This performance is themed around a feast of classical music unfolding in nature. The stage will be set at the site of the installation art exhibition "TEAMBOTTA Mustard Blue: Forest of Tam," held at Seoul Forest Galleria Foret.

The performance on the 9th in the Forest of Tam will feature the playing of 11 members of Orchestra The Original along with conducting accompanied by commentary from artistic director Adriel Kim. The program consists of a diverse repertoire including works by contemporary music master Max Richter, Mexico's national composer Manuel Ponce, Johann Strauss II, and French Baroque master Rameau.

TEAMBOTTA is a group gaining public attention by presenting innovative installation art themed on nature, showcasing botanical art (a genre combining botany and art).

Since its founding in 2021, Orchestra The Original has been an active private orchestra distinguished by its artistic expression and planning that actively reflect the authenticity and contemporaneity of classical music. Recently, it successfully held the "Max Richter Special" concert at the Seoul Arts Center, among other activities.

Adriel Kim, artistic director of Orchestra The Original, said, "We have high expectations as we attempt to meet audiences in various places beyond traditional classical concert halls and present collaborative performances with verified artists. I hope this will be a time for city dwellers longing for nature to find artistic leisure amid their busy lives by enjoying diverse classical music along with exhibitions that offer healing and rest."
