The Seoul City Choir will take the stage with the Seoul Children's Choir at the Sejong Center Grand Theater on August 31, presenting familiar songs that anyone can hum, regardless of genre, including children's songs and popular music, to fill the summer night.

The performance will begin with Part 1 featuring a mixed choir and a spectacular performance of modum buk drums with "Ah! Republic of Korea" (composed by Woo Hyo-won).

Next, traditional play songs that connect generations will be presented, including "Summer Scenery" (arranged by Jo Hye-young), which combines children's songs "Summer - Fishing - The Sun is Shining - Frog," the children's original choral piece "In the Name of Family" (composed by Jo Sung-eun) expressing gratitude for the existence of family, "The Rose of Sharon Has Bloomed" (composed by Oh Byung-hee), and "Dukkeopa Dukkeopa" (arranged by Moon Hyun-joo).

In Part 2, first-generation folk musician and singer Yoon Hyung-joo, who has been active for 56 years since his debut, will sing "Our Story." He will also perform "Tied Seashells" and "Two Little Stars" together with all the performers.

There will also be a time for young people and children to experience the popular songs of the older generation through nostalgic hits like "The Man in the Yellow Shirt" and Cho Yong-pil's "Short Hair."

A segment will feature a medley of various play songs such as "Play Medley for Little Ones" (arranged by Kim Min-a), including "Kongsuni," "Why Did You Come to Our House," and "Try Like Me This Way," as well as a choral rendition of An Yae-eun's "Dream of the Octopus," known for its children's song-like melody and words.

Park Jong-won, director of the Seoul City Choir, will conduct, with modum buk drummer Go Seok-jin and drummer Kim Hong-gi (professor of practical music at Seoul Institute of the Arts) leading the band. The children's choir stage will be conducted by Ha Dae-geun, conductor of the Seoul Children's Choir.

A representative from the Sejong Center said, "This performance, featuring over 120 members of the Seoul City Choir and Seoul Children's Choir, will be a precious opportunity for all generations, including grandparents and children, to unite through music, enjoy choral music that was once unfamiliar in a joyful way, and feel it more familiarly."
