About
[PERFORMANCE INTRODUCTION]
The Republic of Korea has achieved remarkable development through the turbulent modern and contemporary history marked by war and upheaval.
Now, under the name of 'K-Classical,' it is elevating its status in the world.
Following in the footsteps of our composers who have walked alongside the times, we trace their journey.
We revisit the longing, waiting, and sentiments of parting that they captured in our poetry through songs in our native language,
and as we reach the end of 2025, we wish to offer a time of consolation and empathy to all of us who quietly live through each day.
