This performance begins with “New Bangja’s Instructions,” an a cappella piece portraying Bangja conveying Mongryong’s feelings for Chunhyang from Chunhyangga. It continues with “New Four Seasons Song,” which compares life to the changes in nature, and “Indangsu,” arranged with piano accompaniment covering the section from Beompi Jungryu to Shimcheong falling into the water in Simcheongga, all presented with the unique harmonies of the Jeonju Pansori Choir.

Additionally, the audience can experience “Autumn Night of Sorrow,” a new folk song by Hyangsa Park Gwihee that sings the melancholy charm of autumn, and a newly composed piece set to the poem “Gwangya” by poet Lee Yuksa.

Following this, there will be a very special stage featuring “Anbu,” “Bidan Taryeong,” “Hwacho Jang,” and “Pungnyeon-ga,” poems by Joseon-era female poet Lee Okbong set to melodies and newly arranged with the distinctive colors of the Jeonju Pansori Choir.

Meanwhile, a new exhibition space has been created in the lobby of Jinakdang this year. This space offers an experience of gugak instrument displays using cutting-edge IT techniques, engaging immersive exhibition content, and gugak instrument sound sources, allowing anyone to enjoy performances, exhibitions, and hands-on experiences in one place free of charge.

The performance is free, and a free shuttle bus service will be provided before and after the performance between Jindo town and the Gugak Center. Additionally, a performance stamp coupon event will be held until December for visitors, offering small souvenirs to participants.

For more detailed information about the performance, please visit the National Namdo Gugak Center website or contact them by phone.
