Musicians with Developmental Disabilities and Special Education Students Share the Stage... Busan Office of Education to Hold "Refine Concert"

December 12 at Busan Arts Center
Ensemble Performance by Musicians with Developmental Disabilities and Special Education Students

The Viva Chamber Ensemble, an orchestra composed of individuals with developmental disabilities, and students in the Busan area who receive special education and possess musical talent will share the stage to present a classical music performance.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Kim Seokjun) and the Disabled Persons First Busan Movement Headquarters (Director Kim Heungbaek) will hold the "Refine Concert" at the Busan Arts Center on December 12 at 2 p.m.

This performance will feature a collaborative ensemble, with the Viva Chamber Ensemble-comprised of professional musicians with developmental disabilities-and Busan students receiving special education performing together.

In preparation for the concert, the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education and the Disabled Persons First Busan Movement Headquarters recruited students with musical potential last month, forming a 13-member ensemble. The students will participate in a master class, including individual instruction and ensemble rehearsals, at Pukyong National University Yongdang Campus on December 11 to further enhance the quality of the performance.

This stage is expected to provide special education students with practical opportunities to develop as professional musicians, while also teaching the value of cooperation and communication as they harmonize their sounds through ensemble performance.

Superintendent Kim Seokjun stated, "The power to change the world comes from the gathering of warm hearts," adding, "I hope this concert will be a time to share and empathize, delivering a message that transcends the boundaries between the stage and the audience."

The Viva Chamber Ensemble is a 16-member group founded in 2015 to nurture the musical expertise of youth and young adults with disabilities, and has been recognized for its skill through regular concerts and invitations to perform both domestically and internationally.
