Son Jihoon will perform in the first half, and Park Hyesang will take the stage in the second half. Son Jihoon will sing arias such as "Una furtiva lagrima" from Donizetti's opera L'elisir d'amore and "Che gelida manina" from Puccini's opera La Boh?me. The program will include a total of eight songs, featuring the art song "Dongsimcho" and songs by Rachmaninoff. The piano accompaniment will be provided by pianist Ruben Fernandez Aguirre, born in Bilbao, Spain.

Park Hyesang will perform arias including "Ave Maria" from Verdi's opera Otello and "Il est doux, il est bon" from Massenet's opera H?rodiade, as well as "Gasiri" composed by Woo Hyowon. The accompaniment will be by Ilya Rashkovsky, a pianist from Russia and an invited professor at Sungshin Women's University College of Music.

Park Hyesang was selected as a Young Artist at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York in 2015 and made headlines in 2020 as the first Asian soprano to sign an exclusive contract with DG. She also made her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York this year.

Son Jihoon proved his skills by consecutively winning the Botti Competition in October last year, the Montserrat Caball? Competition in November, and the Tchaikovsky Competition in June this year.
