Seongdong-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jung Won-oh) will hold the ‘2024 Noon Culture Performance,’ offering moments of leisure in daily life accompanied by beautiful musical melodies, starting on the 24th of this month and continuing every second and fourth Wednesday of each month.

First launched in December 2018, the ‘Noon Culture Performance’ provides residents with opportunities to enjoy culture and offers artists a chance to engage in artistic activities. Last year, 19 teams from various genres including classical, popera, traditional Korean music, and dance performed a total of 17 shows. Many residents visited Seongdong Chaekmaru to enjoy a warm cup of tea and healing time with the performances at noon.

The first ‘Noon Culture Performance’ of 2024 will be held on April 24th from 12:20 PM to 1:00 PM at Seongdong Chaekmaru, which has been newly renovated for spring and is now more comfortable. The New Wangsimni Orchestra, composed of violin, viola, cello, and flute players, will perform popular pieces such as the ‘007 OST James Bond Theme,’ ‘The Magic Castle,’ and ‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.’

This year’s ‘Noon Culture Performance’ will continue until December 11th at venues including Seongdong Chaekmaru, bringing cultural performances suited to the seasons and times to local residents.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “Through the ‘Noon Culture Performance,’ I hope residents visiting the district office will have moments of relaxation and healing,” adding, “Seongdong-gu will continue to do its best to widely provide opportunities for refined cultural enjoyment through cultural performances that can be enjoyed in everyday life.”
