Collaboration with Disabled Performers... National Museum of Korea to Hold Concert on April 8

The National Museum of Korea, together with the National Museum Cultural Foundation, will hold the performing arts festival ‘2023 Museum Culture Festival.’ Starting with a concert commemorating Disability Day in April, a total of 16 performances will be held 2 to 3 times a month until October.

The first performance will be held on April 8 at the Museum Open Yard, featuring the Seoul Orchestra and musicians with disabilities. On this day, about 50 orchestra members and 6 disabled musicians will present familiar classical and film music. In July, another performance inviting disabled musicians and audience members will be arranged to expand participation of people with disabilities.

In May and June, performances by classical and traditional Korean music orchestras such as the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Gugak Center Creative Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra are planned. In July and August, various genre performances including Haegum Plus and guitarist performances will be held. For the autumn season, performances by the Yang Bang-ean Group in September and the Military Band and Honor Guard in October are prepared.

A museum official said, “With all social distancing measures lifted, we hope many visitors will come to the museum to enjoy the exhibitions along with the richer museum performances compared to last year.”
