Gwangju Gwangsan-gu to Broadcast May International Exchange Music Concert on YouTube on the 25th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim Sam-ho) announced on the 24th that it will broadcast the ‘May International Exchange Concert’ supporting Myanmar democracy on the ‘Gwangsan-gu’ YouTube channel on the 25th, marking the 41st anniversary of the May 18 Democratic Movement.

The May International Exchange Concert is a performance created together with musicians from around the world to inherit the spirit and values of Gwangju May, which started in 2014 and is now in its 8th year.

This year’s concert theme is ‘March for Myanmar! Myanmar’s Spring Will Surely Come.’

The performance reflects and shows solidarity with the situation in Myanmar in 2021, which resembles Gwangju in May 1980.

In particular, the Gwangsan-gu Choir invited two Myanmar nationals to produce and release a video of the ‘March for the Beloved’ sung in Burmese.

Additionally, the concert will feature performances such as the Gwangsan-gu Choir’s ‘Beautiful Country’ and ‘In the Wilderness,’ Project Ensemble Ryeon’s ‘To the Weaver Girl’ and ‘Small Pond,’ Japan’s Rise Up! Choir’s ‘Gwangju, Mudeungsan,’ and The Classic Aurum’s ‘Longing for Geumgangsan’ and ‘My Country, My People,’ all presented through the YouTube channel.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “We hope that the hearts of Gwangju citizens and Asians united for peace in Myanmar will be conveyed through this concert.”
