Opening Ceremony Small Concert at 2 PM on the 26th... A New Cultural and Educational Space to Experience Music and Instruments Created
[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) opened the 'Songpa Saem Instrument Library & Music Creation Studio' on the 26th, a place where anyone can access and learn musical instruments and music, and will hold a commemorative concert.
The 'Songpa Saem Instrument Library & Music Creation Studio' is a music and arts education hub that shares instruments and provides various musical experiences and education to satisfy anyone's artistic and cultural thirst.
Since December last year, the district remodeled the underground walkway space at Songpa-gu Office intersection to create the 290㎡ 'Songpa Saem Instrument Library & Music Creation Studio.'
Equipped with ▲studio ▲music creation room ▲instrument storage ▲small performance hall, anyone can experience various musical activities here.
Also, at the 'Songpa Saem Instrument Library,' instruments can be rented just like borrowing books from a library. It holds over 400 diverse instruments including keyboard instruments, string instruments, wind instruments, percussion instruments, traditional Korean instruments, and MIDI equipment for personal music work. Rentals will start affordably focusing on youth and schools and gradually expand to other users.
The 'Songpa Saem Music Creation Studio' is a space supporting music creation activities in line with the latest trend of producing cultural content rather than simply consuming music.
The ‘one-person music creation room’ is equipped with MIDI programs, master keyboards, microphones, etc., supporting individual digital-based music creation. The ‘studio-practice room’ is furnished with drums, keyboards, mixers, and amplifiers, enabling ensemble performances with various instruments such as bands.
Additionally, the infrastructure of the 'Songpa Saem Music Creation Studio' is linked with Songpa Saem biographical books, and various music classes desired by youth and residents such as ‘classical instrument lessons,’ ‘composition and creation education,’ and ‘learning traditional Korean music’ will be operated.
At 2 p.m. on the 26th, a small opening concert will be held in the small performance hall featuring a ‘collaborative stage with gayageum and piano’ from the Songpa Saem biographical books and a jazz performance with contrabass, saxophone, and others.
Mayor Park Seong-su said, “I hope the lives of residents will be enriched through the 'Songpa Saem Instrument Library & Music Creation Studio,' a diverse space where music and culture flow,” and added, “We will do our best to operate it solidly so that anyone can visit and use this space to develop artistic literacy and aptitude.”
