Korean holiday music performed today
Videos featuring traditional winter season music and Christmas carols will be played at Clubhouse 4 today, Dec. 15, from 1:30-4 p.m. This year’s occasion was organized by the Art History Club.
The program includes traditional performances, such as Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 9” and Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker,” as well as a couple of modern New Age musical pieces combined with traditional masterpiece paintings. The annual event has been held since 2017 but was canceled in 2021 due to COVID-19. In 2020, the performances took place via Zoom.
“For the last two years during the pandemic period, many people were suffering not only from physical ailing but also psychological difficulty,” Ken Chong wrote. “Now, we may feel some comfort and relaxation by enjoying the great music and the beautiful images, and friendly association with each other.”
All are welcome to attend. Simple snacks and warm beverages will be provided. The program will be presented in Korean, but the video captions will be shown in English. For more information, contact Yun Han Choi at yunhanchoi@gmail.com or Susan Yai at susanyai@yahoo.com.
