Korean Traditional Music Orchestra Festival-Contemporary Gugak Orchestra of the National Gugak Center

행사 소개

The Contemporary Gugak Orchestra of the National Gugak Center was founded in 2004 under the banner of flourishing creative Korean music through transmission of traditional music and promoting performances that reflect the musical demands of the present era. It became the starting point for researching and developing creative music that encompasses composition and performance based on the creative tradition of the National Gugak Center that has been built up so far. Starting with the inaugural concert, "Coordination and Conversation for the World," since 2005, the Orchestra has worked on recreating existing pieces into masterpieces, as well as the well-known masterpieces, through the Invitation to Masterpieces series. In the "Lying Down by the Tree" series introduced since 2014, members of the Orchestra took part in the composition and arrangement. The Orchestra has kept on many different endeavors on creative music, such as the Series of Rediscovery of Traditional Music that reinterpret major traditional music into current music, and the Composer Series that illuminate the works of representative composers who have become the foundation of creative Korean music. 주최: 세종문화회관
