‘Global Classic Dream Project 2019’ created musical magic in the air

30th August 2019, New Delhi: Korean Cultural Centre India had closing ceremony of ‘Global Classic Dream Project’ 2019 on 30th August. The 10 day program was organized in association with college of music, Seoul National University for the public interested in classical music. The closing ceremony amused 110 audiences gathering at the centre as Indian students trained by South Korean teachers performed enchantingly.

The Global Classic Dream Project is an annual event which was first started in 2013 to promote music and cater to the musical needs of Indian Musicians. The project is an inspiring project that helps aspiring music students discover and pursue their passion; KCC has given platform to talented people from all over India who were interested in learning Western Classic Music (Piano and Vocal) as well as Korean Traditional Music (Gukak) from specialised teachers. This year 5 young artists from Korea, Im Hyejeong, Shin Seungchul, Yang Supin, Cho Subin, and Lee Yunji trained the students.

 

28 students were able to make their ways for this learning process after rigorous selection process. 12 Students got selected in Vocal category whereas 11 students learnt Korean traditional Music and rest of the students learnt playing Piano.

 

Mr. Kim Kum Pyoung, director, Korean Cultural Centre-India, said “This project was initiated for encouraging young music talents with intensive coaching and communication between Indian and Korean future artists. Music is a medium in which everyone can share their emotions and stories. I hope this is a chance for young Indian students and Korean artists from Seoul National University to find their passion for music as well as affection for each other's country. 

 

Professor Sngkn Kim, Department of Korean Music, Seoul National Univesity  said “Korean Cultural Centre has created a valuable opportunity for students in India who are interested in music, through young artists from Asia's music powerhouse South Korea to share their experiences and interact with each other in music. I hope that this project will continue to develop, and hopefully this will serve as an opportunity for our two countries to get closer to each other.”

The evening opened with mesmerizing performance of Bansuri and Daegeum(Korean traditional bamboo flute) by Rajat Prasanna and teacher Im Hyejeong.  Students showed off their skills in piano with Chopin and D. Scarlatti’s pieces as well as 5 Korean songs and Bartione performance.
