Under the theme "The World We Dream of Through Choir II," this performance will feature the Jeonju City Choir as well as five amateur choirs: Good Friends Male Choir (conducted by Lee Youngsoo), Jeonju El Women's Choir (conducted by Yoon Youngkwon), Jeonbuk Ladies Choir (conducted by Park Shin), Wanju Evergreen Choir (conducted by Kang Yeonmo), and Bugwi Elementary School Dream Choir (conducted by Lim Yeonjeong).

In particular, this performance will present a large-scale joint stage with a total of 200 performers, and is expected to deliver the powerful emotion of choral music to the audience.

The concert will also feature the premiere of a commissioned piece themed on Jeonju, titled "There," performed for the first time. This work, composed by Lee Beomjun from Jeonju and set to a poem by poet Hong Wonpyo, expresses longing, love, and the hope of reunion with Jeonju. It will be performed as a joint choir in the latter part of the concert, marking the highlight of the year-end stage.

No Eunyoung, Director of Culture, Sports and Tourism for Jeonju City, stated, "This concert will be a meaningful occasion for local artists to come together in harmony and celebrate the end of the year as one voice. In particular, I hope many people will be moved by the premiere of 'There,' a song that captures the memories and love for Jeonju."
