This concert features a program that combines classical music and traditional Korean music, with conductor Koo Cheon, former artistic director of the National Chorus of Korea, taking the podium. The performance is divided into two acts, with different stages presented on November 22 and 29, respectively.


On November 22, the 'Korea Conductors Choir', composed of leading domestic choral conductors, will collaborate with the 'Nuove Musike Orchestra', and the Korean Baekse Cheongchun Choir, the oldest choir in Korea, will also take the stage.


On November 29, the traditional Korean music band 'Akdan Kwangchil', known for blending traditional music with modern sensibilities and leading the globalization of Korean music, will make a special appearance. Musical actor Murien, the Gapyeong County Women’s Choir, and the Gapyeong County Children’s Choir will also participate, filling the deepening autumn night with rich melodies.


Jeong Minhee, President of the Gapyeong Music Association, said, "Just as small streams come together to form a great river, we prepared this event with the hope that various musical genres will unite in harmony as one. I hope everyone can share the joy of art and a warm resonance through this concert."
