[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Boseong-gun announced on the 12th that it will hold the ‘Republic of Korea Chae Dong-seon National Music Festival’ commemorating the 120th anniversary of the birth of the national musician Chae Dong-seon at the Beolgyo Chae Dong-seon Music Hall on the 28th.

This music festival honoring the national musician Chae Dong-seon consists of a creative music festival that reinterprets and highlights the music of Chae Dong-seon, a violinist, composer, independence activist, and thinker, with a modern sensibility.

In particular, this performance is highly anticipated by music lovers as Maestro Geum Nosang, who skillfully unravels difficult modern and contemporary pieces like magic, will conduct for the second time after leading the 2018 Beolgyo Centennial Sound Taebaek Mountain Range Fantasy.

The performance pieces include Capriccio violin concerto based on Chae Dong-seon’s song ‘Apcheon’ (Lee Moonseok, exclusive to Chae Dong-seon Chamber Orchestra / premiere), The Last Words of the Bluebird (Kim Beomgi / Gyeongsang National University professor), Concert Grosso for Piri, Janggu and Orchestra (Jung Seungjae / Sangmyung University professor / premiere), The Road to Buyongsan (Jung Hyunsu / Chonnam National University professor / premiere), and the 2018 work Taebaek Mountain Range Fantasy performed by a string ensemble.

As soloists, violinist Kim Gahyeon (currently studying at Suwon University), piri player Kim Sekyung (principal of Gyeonggi Sinawi Orchestra), and janggu player Park Sangdeok (principal of Gyeonggi Sinawi Orchestra) will participate to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the birth of the national musician Chae Dong-seon.

Artistic director Kim Jeongho said, “I founded the Chae Dong-seon Chamber Orchestra and have led the group for eight years despite difficult conditions, and for seven years now, I have been providing music education to local students through the Chae Dong-seon Gifted Orchestra,” adding, “It will be a very meaningful moment that violinist Kim Gahyeon, a graduate of the Chae Dong-seon Gifted Orchestra, performs Chae Dong-seon’s Apcheon at this music festival.”

Meanwhile, the Republic of Korea Chae Dong-seon National Music Festival will be held at 5 p.m. on November 28 at the Chae Dong-seon Music Hall located in Beolgyo-eup, Boseong-gun, and admission is free.
