The Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Children's Traditional Music Orchestra (conducted by Kang Han-jun) will present the 21st regular concert "The Sun Blossoming under the Moon" at 4 p.m. on the 31st at the Yeonji Hall of the Korean Sound Culture Center.

Established in 2004, the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Children's Arts Group (led by Lee Jeong-seok) has been discovering and nurturing talented children in traditional music within the province, consistently practicing the values of growth and collaboration through art. The orchestra, which has held performances more than five times a year, has produced over 260 members to date, with graduates actively leading in various fields of arts and society.

This performance, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Korean Liberation and expressing the aspiration for the 2036 Jeonju Olympics bid, has prepared a diverse repertoire. The first stage will kick off energetically with the non-verbal percussion performance "Bukjangdaeso," expressing the tumultuous era of liberation through various rhythms and sounds, transitioning into a new hope. The following chamber music piece "Frontier" by Yang Bang-yeon showcases the youthful vigor of the teenage members with a progressive melody.

The third piece, "Will of the Sky," pays musical tribute to the patriotic spirit of Dr. Ahn Jung-geun, providing a time to reflect on historical significance. The pansori concerto "Chunhyangga - Meeting of Chunhyang and Mongryong" conveys joy and comfort through the reunion of Chunhyang and Mongryong, while the final stage, the traditional music orchestra piece "Sound Play 1+1," delivers a message of rediscovering the lost warm sounds in modern society.

The performance will last about 60 minutes, and all residents can attend for free. Tickets can be reserved on the Jeonbuk Provincial Traditional Music Institute website starting at 10 a.m. on the 21st, with remaining seats distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the venue.
