Conducted by Sung Jujin and hosted by professional emcee Lim Hyerim, the concert will also include easy-to-understand commentary on each piece, which is expected to enhance the audience's understanding and engagement.

Admission to this performance is free for all seats and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

These include genres ranging from traditional classical and semi-classical to film music, as well as outreach concerts for students in the region.
