In the first part, the choir will perform mixed-gender choral arrangements of the king’s precious masterpieces such as ‘Bounce’, ‘San Jangui Yeoin’ (The Woman of the Mountain Lodge), ‘Dorawayo Busanhange’ (Come Back to Busan Port), ‘Baramui Norae’ (Song of the Wind), ‘Danbalmeori’ (Short Hair), ‘Gochujamjari’ (Dragonfly), and ‘Geudae Balkiri Meomuneun Got’ (Where Your Footsteps Stay).

On-site tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis from the front seats starting at 6 PM on the day of the performance at the entrance of the Culture and Arts Center.

We will continue to implement flourishing cultural policies with various performances to satisfy the cultural needs of citizens.”
