"Classical Music, Morning" is Gyeonggi Arts Center's representative classical concert series themed around "classical performances that can be enjoyed without burden." The August stage will focus on Baroque era music.

This performance offers a chance to experience ancient instruments that are usually difficult to encounter. Seven performers who are actively engaged in the early music field both domestically and internationally will take the stage. They will perform using various period instruments ranging from recorder and harpsichord to Baroque violin and cello.

In particular, this concert features classical recorder player Nam Hyeong-ju, known to the public as the "Recorder Master" through recent appearances on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" and KBS's "Achimmadang." Nam Hyeong-ju will perform Vivaldi and Telemann recorder concertos, showcasing a new side of the familiar instrument, the recorder.

The concert will vividly introduce the music of the era, including representative works by Baroque music icons Handel, Bach, and Vivaldi, as well as compositions by composers who left significant marks on 17th-18th century classical history such as Telemann and Merula.

A Gyeonggi Arts Center official said, "This special concert, where rarely seen period instruments come together in one place, will allow audiences to feel the timeless beauty of classical music."

Ticket prices are 40,000 KRW for all seats. Tickets can be purchased on the Gyeonggi Arts Center website and Interpark.
