[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Mewon] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 30th that it will hold an ontact performance titled "Heart to Heart With Concert" to improve awareness of disabilities, and the video will be released on YouTube on the 1st of next month.

This concert was prepared to deliver a message of comfort to citizens exhausted by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and to form a social consensus on improving awareness of disabilities.

The performance features visually impaired pianist Yoo Yae-eun and the disabled orchestra "Hope Irum Orchestra." Yoo Yae-eun, the protagonist of the movie "Miracle Piano" and a visually impaired piano prodigy, will perform the third movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata "Appassionata" and sing popular songs such as "With Love" accompanied by piano.

Following this, 36 members including Jeong Ji-seon, the leader of Gyeongnam's first disabled orchestra "Hope Irum Orchestra," will perform pieces such as "Arirang Rhapsody" and "The Phantom of the Opera." Founded in 2012, Hope Irum Orchestra has been actively performing, holding over 500 "visiting concerts" to date.

During the performance, there will also be interviews with the performers and quizzes aimed at improving awareness of disabilities.

After finishing the audience-free performance, Yoo Yae-eun said, "Instead of viewing people with disabilities as objects of help, I hope people pay attention to the abilities they possess," adding, "I want to continue being a performer who delivers hope through music."

This concert was held in an ontact format by conducting an audience-free performance on the 24th to comply with social distancing and quarantine guidelines, and then releasing the main videos on YouTube.

It can be viewed on YouTube's "LH TV" starting from the 1st of next month, and an event will be held where viewers who leave supportive comments for disability awareness improvement will receive small prizes.

Lee Jeong-gwan, Head of LH's Management Innovation Headquarters, said, "Since the concert was held ontact to prevent COVID-19, I hope more audiences enjoy the performance online and that it helps improve awareness of disabilities."
