Icheon International Music Festival is not a top tier in the art world that everyone knows, but a place to once again introduce to citizens of Icheon and other artists who are engaged in their artistic activities on the world stage with their true skills. Furthermore, we have planned this music festival to contribute to promoting the beautiful culture and art of Icheon to more people, where tradition and culture and art are connected.

The Icheon International Music Festival will be reborn as a cradle of talents who will lead the future art world, and will grow into a cultural venue where many citizens at home and abroad can enjoy various cultures and arts. We also plan to do our best to provide opportunities for young musicians and audiences to interact and expand each other's musical worlds.

Yes, CEO, thank you for the good words today.

I'm really looking forward to the colorful stages of young artists.

The main performance of the Icheon International Music Festival, which is held every time on a different theme from classical to opera, begins at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

In today's Opening Concert, the beautiful harmony of the East and the West will be shown from the performance of a blind gayageum player to the song stage of a world-class soprano.

There will also be an Icheon Turtle Play stage, a traditional folk game that makes turtles from sorghum leaves and wishes blessings from house to house.

Tomorrow, there will be a "Musical Night" performance where you can enjoy a variety of musical numbers loved in Korea, including musicals Notre Dame de Paris and Phantom.

The Concerto Night', drawn by Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky's music, and 'Opera Night', presented by leading opera singers, will also follow.

This music festival can be enjoyed by any Icheon citizen with 2,000 won.

It would be nice to have a beautiful autumn night with a jewel-like stage created by musicians from the East and the West.
