Naju-si to Post Video of 'Citizen Orchestra Contactless Performance' on 24th

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 21st that it will post a Christmas special citizen orchestra performance video on the city hall YouTube channel at 5 p.m. on the 24th.

This performance will be composed of familiar music to citizens, such as carols that enhance the year-end atmosphere, drama and movie OSTs, and trot.

In addition, a deeper and more diverse performance will be presented through collaboration with the municipal choir and the gugak (traditional Korean music) group.

The citizen orchestra performance project began last year through selection for the ‘Bangbanggokgok Cultural Sympathy Project’ lifestyle culture content revitalization project, hosted by the Korea Culture and Arts Centers Association.

The composition of members is made through the voluntary participation of citizens who can play instruments or are interested in them.

This year as well, about 40 residents from Bitgaram-dong and the old downtown have continued practicing once a week, contributing to the realization of a cultural community that communicates and harmonizes through music.

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, “Looking back on a difficult year due to COVID-19 and heavy rain damage, I hope that a gift of comfort and hope will be delivered through beautiful harmony,” and added, “We will continue to promote various cultural and artistic policies to expand opportunities for citizens to enjoy culture and to create a community where culture blossoms in daily life.”
