<2026 The Composer Project> opens the 2026-2027 National Repertory Season with an ambitious mission of discovering the next generation of gugak orchestral music. Through an open call, five talented composers have been selected to bring their fresh imagination to the stage, each presenting a work with its own distinct story and landscape. These pieces - the culmination of six months of dedicated readings and mentorship - mark a new chapter for Korean music. Brought to life by conductor Kim Sung-kook's brilliantly nuanced interpretation and the refined artistry of the National Orchestra of Korea, this performance promises to immerse audiences in five distinct musical worlds.
