Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Kim Ikang) held the results presentation of the resident participation cultural arts education program ‘Music of Shin(新)’ at Seobitmaru Cultural Center on the 21st.

Following last year, the second edition of ‘Music of Shin’ was conducted for residents interested in musicals and orchestras, with 43 participants of various age groups from children to seniors joining together.

The musical education course provided systematic training by professional instructors specializing in vocals, choreography, and acting, covering both theoretical education and practical exercises. The orchestra course included selecting parts and ensemble practice with instructors for string and wind instruments, led by a conductor.

After completing the 20-week program of acting practice and ensemble rehearsals starting from May 11, the trainees presented a joint musical performance of ‘The Sound of Music,’ showcasing their efforts. Representative numbers from ‘The Sound of Music’ such as Do-Re-Mi, Lonely Goatherd, and Edelweiss were expressed with the beautiful melodies of the orchestra and the passionate performances of the musical troupe, receiving great applause from the audience.

Participants who finished the stage shared their thoughts: “It is overwhelming to have completed a musical on stage beyond simply learning,” “Playing in an orchestra was my dream, and I finally achieved it,” and “Thanks to the family-like troupe members and the instructors who elevated my abilities, I was happy for five months.”

Mayor Kim Ikang of Seo-gu said, “We will continue to generously support cultural arts programs that embody Seo-gu’s unique colors and characteristics so that Seo-gu can become a cultural hub communicating through music across all generations.”
