KOREA FOUNDATION

The Korean Cultural Center in France and the Seoul Tutti Ensemble jointly present the online concert series “Rendez-vous musical entre France et Corée” (Musical Rendezvous of France and Korea). The Seoul Tutti Ensemble has gained attention for its creative performances and diverse renditions.

The series consists of 10 short concerts that suggest various intersections of Korean and Western music cultures. Viewers can enjoy traditional Korean lyric songs performed using Western instruments; works by French composers played by Korean classical musicians; works by Korean contemporary composers; and an arrangement of Arirang for classical instruments of the West.

The series opens with The Autumn Fan, composed by Choe Uzong and with lyrics by Bae Sam-sik. As the first traditional Korean lyric song to be reimagined through the lens of Western arts, the piece is recognized for demonstrating traditional Korean culture’s ability to transcend time and be transformed.

The Western classical pieces played by Korean artists are Darius Milhaud’s Sonatine à Trois, Op. 221b; Maurice Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte; and Sergey Prokofiev’s Five Melodies for Violin and Piano, Op. 35b.

With a wide variety of pieces played by esteemed Korean musicians, the concert series will be an opportunity for fans of Korean and French classical music to immerse in the beauty of song.
