[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Suncheon Cultural Foundation (Chairman Heo Seok) hosted and organized the ‘1st Suncheon Living Culture Festival No-Audience Concert,’ sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Regional Culture Promotion Agency, and Suncheon City, held at the Suncheon City Culture and Health Center Multipurpose Hall.

The Suncheon Living Culture Festival, the nation’s first festival for living culture artists, was held in the form of a ‘no-audience concert’ from the 30th of last month to the 3rd, with 120 Suncheon living culture teams (a total of 438 participants) attending.

This event, held as a pre-event for the ‘2020 National Living Culture Festival,’ was planned to deliver messages of hope and healing through the new trend in the cultural and arts sector caused by COVID-19, the ‘online performance,’ and to promote healing from COVID blue (COVID trauma) through culture and arts as well as to spread a new viewing culture.

The no-audience concert was richly composed of diverse performances including orchestra, popera, Nanta, daegeum, folk songs, and sijochang choir, and was broadcast live through the Suncheon Cultural Foundation’s YouTube channel.

Additionally, the ‘#ThanksChallenge’ (a relay cheering event for Korean medical staff) performance involving all participants in the concert and ‘Sangnoksoo 2020,’ created with the participation of Suncheon living culture artists, will be released soon.

Heo Seok, Chairman of the Suncheon Cultural Foundation, said, “I am grateful for the active interest and support from many people for the 1st Suncheon Living Culture Festival No-Audience Concert, and I ask for continued encouragement and support for the foundation’s efforts for Suncheon’s cultural artists.”
