[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra (Seoul Philharmonic) will release a live video of the "After-Work Talk Concert: Encounter with the Baroque" at 7:30 PM on the 24th.

The Seoul Philharmonic's After-Work Talk Concert is a performance that combines music with humanities commentary. This year, due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the metropolitan social distancing measures imposed by health authorities, the concert has been transitioned to an online format. The video to be released on the 24th was recorded on the 6th at the Seoul Cathedral of the Anglican Church of Korea. It will be premiered on the Seoul Philharmonic's Naver TV and YouTube channels.

In "After-Work Talk Concert: Encounter with the Baroque," audiences can enjoy pieces by famous Baroque-era composers. The program includes Bach's "Aria from Orchestral Suite No. 3, 2nd movement" and "Vivace from Concerto for Two Violins, 1st movement," as well as Vivaldi's "Winter" from The Four Seasons. Bach's "Aria from Orchestral Suite No. 3, 2nd movement" is well known under the title "Air on the G String."

In addition to Bach and Vivaldi, music by Marcello, Grieg, and Jenkins will also be performed. Along with the performance, audiences can enjoy in-depth commentary by Professor Eun-ah Cho.

The Seoul Philharmonic has planned three After-Work Talk Concerts this year, sponsored by the Korea Development Bank, and is releasing them online.
