A stage filled with magnificent melodies
‘All Kids’ Orchestra Asan’ is a wind orchestra comprised of 40 youth members, including 27 elementary and middle school students, who presented beautiful melodies through performances of seven wind instruments: flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, horn, and euphonium.
The concert began with an opening performance and continued with a full-scale performance by the ensemble and wind orchestra, and the year-end atmosphere was heightened with familiar songs such as “Mamma Mia” and “White Christmas.” The members successfully completed the one-hour performance, fully demonstrating the skills they had been honing.
This event, held in the multipurpose hall on the first floor of the Eumbong Eoulsaem Library, produced a more complete stage with the combination of a Christmas tree and stage lighting. It was evaluated as providing a special experience to the audience by harmonizing the book cafe and the performance hall.
A place for youth growth, All Kids’ Orchestra Asan
‘All Kids’ Orchestra Asan’ is a representative project of ‘Hamkkehaeyu Social Cooperative’ that Asan City has supported through a cultural arts program contest. It provides wind instrument education and performance opportunities to youth, contributing to fostering cultural sensitivity and self-confidence.
Park No-sik, the representative of the ‘Hamkkehaeyu Social Cooperative’, said, “Through the 8th regular concert, the members showed that they have grown even further,” and “I feel rewarded that we were able to see the positive educational effects of not only musical skills but also emotional growth and increased self-confidence.”
Asan City’s active support
Park Jae-kwon, the head of the Asan City Education and Youth Division, said, “I would like to thank the ‘Hamkkehaeyu Social Cooperative’ for providing support so that young people can learn wind instruments that are difficult to access,” and added, “We will continue to expand and provide continuous support for youth culture and arts projects in the future.”
