GS Retail's 'Mujigae Sangja Orchestra' Online Concert for Children in Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] The year-end concert of the 'Mujigae Sangja Orchestra,' composed of GS Retail employees and vulnerable young musicians, will be held.

GS Retail announced on the 22nd that it will hold an online mini concert called the 'Mujigae Sangja ONE HEART Concert' together with Hope Friends Korea Food for the Hungry International. It will be premiered at 3 p.m. on the Korea Food for the Hungry International YouTube channel and will be available to watch at any time until the 29th.

'Mujigae Sangja' is a child cultural and emotional support project carried out by GS Retail and Korea Food for the Hungry International since 2005, providing classical instruments and music education to children from low-income families. Since 2011, talented individuals have been selected to form and operate the 'Mujigae Sangja Orchestra.'

This year, a more special concert was prepared for low-income children going through difficult times due to COVID-19 and the teachers at local children's centers who care for them. The concert's name, 'ONE HEART,' signifies that although we cannot meet in person due to COVID-19, our hearts are connected as one.

GS Retail employees also contributed their talents. GS Retail employees played instruments and sang together, utilizing their individual specialties.

The 'Mujigae Sangja ONE HEART Concert' consists of two songs: 'Jingle Bells,' a Christmas season song, and 'Superstar,' which carries a message of hope and comfort with the phrase 'It's okay, things will get better.' In particular, 'Superstar' is a choral piece combining the instrument performances of the Mujigae Sangja Orchestra and Dream Scholarship students with the voices of GS Retail employees, delivering great emotion.
