Seoul Spring Chamber Music Festival and ‘Along with the Gods’ Musical Return with Vigor Pre-COVID-19

[앵커]

The Seoul Spring Chamber Music Festival, one of Korea’s representative music festivals, has regained its vitality before COVID-19.

The musical version of ‘Along with the Gods’, which is also famous for webtoons and movies, is also back.

This is reporter Shin Woong-jin’s report.

The Seoul Spring Chamber Music Festival is now in its 18th year.

Chamber music is a small-scale performance centered on string music.

This year’s theme is ‘more and more’, and there are many large-scale arrangements such as quintets and octets that are difficult to see.

Around 70 domestic and foreign musicians, including violinist Han Su-jin and cellist Kang Seung-min, will perform 13 concerts at Yun Bo-seon’s old house, Seoul Arts Center, and Sejong Center for the Performing Arts.

One of Germany’s leading orchestras, the Bremen Philharmonic, is visiting Korea for the first time.

He has a deep relationship with Brahms, and he conducted the premiere of ‘German Requiem’ in 1868.

In this performance, all of the repertoire, including the ‘College Festival Overture’ and ‘Symphony No. 4′, will be filled with Brahms’ songs.

Music director Marco Letoña will conduct, and violinist Lim Ji-young and cellist Moon Tae-guk will perform as soloists.

One of the Seoul Arts Troupe’s representative works, ‘Along with the Gods’, is back.

It’s the 4th since the premiere in 2015, but it’s been 5 years since the performance was canceled in the middle due to Corona 19.

The flow of the play is a little closer to the texture of the webtoon, which is the original work of Ho-min Joo, rather than the movie.

A huge circular stage with a diameter of 17m that fills the theater and LED screens protruding from the floor provide a splendid spectacle.
