Hanwha Youth Orchestra to Hold 2024 Regular Concert

President Kim Sin-yeon Presents Certificates of Completion to 49 Members

The Hanwha Youth Orchestra, a music education program jointly planned by Hanwha Group and the Korea Mecenat Association, held its regular concert on the 19th at the Seonghwan Cultural Center in Cheonan, Chungnam.

The Hanwha Youth Orchestra is a youth cultural education project that has focused on instrument education by professional music directors and instructors, as well as community character education through orchestra activities. Since 2014, it has provided related instrument education to young people in two regions, Cheonan in Chungnam and Cheongju in Chungbuk, who have limited access to classical music.

The regular concert, attended by 27 students from the Cheonan string ensemble and 24 students from the Cheongju wind ensemble, opened with Charpentier's "Te Deum" conducted by conductor Chae Eun-seok. This was followed by performances of the James Bond theme (My name is Bond), The Beatles' "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," Dvo??k's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" 4th movement, and Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance March."

Before the performance began, a certificate ceremony was held for 49 members who had diligently participated throughout the year.

In his congratulatory speech, President Kim said, "I sincerely congratulate the members of the Hanwha Youth Orchestra, a cultural and arts education program for students in the Chungcheong region, on their completion," adding, "Hanwha Group will continue to fulfill its corporate social responsibility and will not stop its ongoing efforts for the development of the Chungcheong region."

In addition to the "Hanwha Youth Orchestra," Hanwha Group is also recognized for expanding the horizons of performance culture through Hanwha Classic, a Baroque music specialty performance that was previously unfamiliar in Korea. The group is also dedicated to the growth and education of youth through activities such as "Pebbles of the Universe," which nurtures middle school students gifted in space science.
