Kim Hojung, Director of Yeongju City's Seonbi Talent Development Division, stated, "This will be a family-friendly performance that breaks the stereotype that classical music is difficult and boring," adding, "We will continue to organize various high-quality cultural and artistic performances so that citizens can experience a wide range of culture and the arts."
