At the Jakdang Outdoor Stage of the Nambu Market Cultural Marketplace
The Jeonju City Traditional Music Orchestra of North Jeolla Province (Artistic Director and Conductor Shim Sangwook) announced on April 25 that it will present a visiting traditional music performance at the Jakdang outdoor stage of the Nambu Market Cultural Marketplace at 7 p.m. on May 2.
The "Visiting Performance" is being promoted to provide citizens who have difficulty accessing performance venues with the opportunity to experience a variety of genres, including classical music, traditional Korean music, choral music, and dramatic readings.
This performance has been specially planned to revitalize the local economy and traditional markets. It will feature a stage where the vibrant atmosphere unique to traditional markets is harmonized with traditional Korean music. The event aims to deliver warm messages of encouragement to market merchants and offer visitors a new cultural delight in their everyday lives.
The program for the day will include a diverse selection of pieces such as "Frontier" (composed by Yang Bangeon), a New Age-style work that blends elements of classical music with traditional Korean music; "Morning" (composed by Kim Shinwon), noted for the pure and clear tones of the sogeum; and lively and exciting Korean traditional pop songs including "I Love All Twelve Months" (composed by Kim Cheolhwan), "A Festival in Jeonju!" (composed by Kim Baekchan), and "Festival" (composed by Lee Junho).
No Eunyoung, Director of the Jeonju City Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, stated, "We expect this meaningful stage to bring us closer to citizens in the vibrant setting of the traditional market, providing merchants with small but heartfelt comfort and energy. We will continue to strive to ensure that citizens can enjoy culture and the arts in their daily lives through performances by the Jeonju City Arts Group in various locations throughout the region."
