This concert has been organized to commemorate the opening of the Hwajinpo Sherwood Hall Cultural Space, aiming to provide local residents and tourists with the opportunity to enjoy high-quality arts and culture.

The concert will be hosted by MC Choi Kanghee and will feature performances by pianist Edwin Kim, harmonica player Park Jongsung, saxophonist Brandon Choi, jazz vocalist Maria Kim, and other artists from various genres both domestic and international. They will present film music based on classical and jazz styles.

The program will include beloved masterpieces such as 'Love Affair,' 'Moon River,' 'Fly to the Moon,' and 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight.' The performances are expected to offer a moving experience, harmonizing with the beautiful natural surroundings of Hwajinpo.

The Hwajinpo Sherwood Hall Cultural Space was established to honor the dedication of Rosetta Sherwood Hall, who entered Joseon in the late 19th century. It serves as a place of remembrance for nearly half a century of medical, educational, and humanitarian contributions made by the Sherwood Hall family in Korea until 1940. Located at 278 Hwajinpo-gil, Geojin-eup, it was created by remodeling the former Hwajinpo Ecological Museum into a distinctive exhibition space with a total floor area of 1,596 square meters and three above-ground floors.

A total of 3.8 billion won was invested in this remodeling project, and it is particularly significant for efficiently utilizing existing resources to recreate the site as a cultural and historical space.

Ham Myungjun, Governor of Goseong County, stated, "This cinema concert not only commemorates the opening of the Hwajinpo Sherwood Hall Cultural Space, but also aims to promote the value of local culture by offering a variety of arts and cultural programs to residents and tourists. Through the unique experience of film music, we hope this event will broaden the foundation of local arts and culture and strengthen communication within the community."
