Hong Seok-won, a young master of the classical repertoire, joins the National Orchestra of Korea for a program of fresh interpretation and performance. Grounded in close analysis and assured leadership, the conductor's aesthetic meets the orchestra's supple, distinctive timbre to reach the height of what Korean orchestral music can achieve today. Through contemporary variation and the layered harmonies latent in traditional melody, the program uncovers both the essential beauty of this music and a value that endures across the ages. As conductor and orchestra attune closely to one another, the sound they forge awaits you — and lingers long after the final note.
