Fall Concert Celebrating the 120th Anniversary of Korean Immigration to the U.S.
Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that the Chaedongseon Chamber Orchestra (representative Kim Jeong-ho) will hold an invited performance of the "Autumn Concert" in Dayton, Ohio, USA on the 18th.
This concert was made possible through the recommendation of Professor Cha In-hong of Wright State University and the invitation of the Korean Association in the Dayton area to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Korea-US alliance and the 120th anniversary of Korean immigration to the Americas.
On this day’s stage, the orchestra will present a performance featuring "Hometown," a work by Beolgyo ethnic musician Chaedongseon, and "Panclassic Eolsu," which combines Pansori from Boseong, the hometown of Seopyeonje, conveying the beauty of Korean choral music.
In particular, "Panclassic Eolsu" was selected for the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service’s international exchange project and is being carried out with the support of Boseong-gun.
Director Kim Jeong-ho said, "It seems to be the result of much effort to present works that establish Korean ethnic identity and inspire pride and self-esteem," adding, "We aim to evoke nostalgia and enjoyment of Korea among Korean Americans and introduce the new essence of Korean music."
Meanwhile, the Chaedongseon Chamber Orchestra was founded in 2012, was selected as the best organization by the Jeonnam Cultural Foundation, and received the 2021 Korea Arts Management Award, playing a leading role in the development of local culture and arts.
