A special stage featuring young gugak musicians who will carry on the legacy of our traditional sounds will be held this December.

Jongno-gu (Mayor Jeong Munheon) will host a special performance by the winning team of the 3rd Creative Gugak Competition "Gugak Tomorrow" from December 1 to 3 at the Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang.

This competition was organized to support the creative activities of young gugak musicians and provide opportunities to enter the gugak scene. It is an event for the award-winning teams of the youth gugak support project "Creative Gugak Competition Gugak Tomorrow," jointly hosted by the Jongno Cultural Foundation and Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang, and sponsored by Jongno-gu.

After judging held in September and October, six final teams were selected, with the prestigious grand prize awarded to "Gwangrak," who showcased a rich harmony of wind, string, and percussion instruments along with excellent performance skills.

The Experimental Spirit Award went to "Wavelength," the Traditional Utilization Award to "Haegum Project Eii," the Popular Sympathy Award to "String Ensemble 4S," the Performance Award to "Damot," and the Idea Award to "Prism."

Jongno-gu has been promoting various programs such as capacity-building education, expert mentoring, and profile shooting to support the continuous artistic activities of the winning teams after the competition.

Among these, the special performance of Gugak Tomorrow scheduled for December is meaningful as it offers a stage to experience their further developed musical skills and individuality.

The admission fee is 12,000 KRW, and tickets can be reserved through Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang and Interpark. For more details, inquiries can be made by phone to the Jongno Cultural Foundation or Seoul Donhwamun Gugakdang.

A Jongno-gu official said, "This will be a stage to support the brilliant future of young gugak musicians who will become the mainstay of our traditional sounds and to reveal their potential to the public," adding, "We recommend savoring the diverse performances by the winning teams and immersing yourself in the charm of gugak."
