K-Arts and Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation Organize the 9^th Gyechon Classic Festival

From 26 to 28 May at the Gyechon Village in Bangrim-myeon, Pyeongchang, the K-Arts, the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation, and Pyeongchang County in Gangwon Province together present the 9^th Gyechon Classic Festival. It is a part of the Art Village Project that aims to spread the culture in everyday life. In addition to the main performance, the event provides various programs.

Gyechon is a small village located 700 meters above sea level. The history of the festival started as the Gyechon Elementary School, at risk of close-down due to decreasing numbers of students, overcame the crisis by invigorating classical music education and orchestra activities. Since 2015, the K-Arts and the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation have provided various educational opportunities to the entire students of the Gyechon Elementary School and villagers of Gyechon through the Art Village Project to guide all members of society to enjoy the value of arts and culture. Both institutions will continue to connect the culture to people through sustaining social contributions to arts and culture.
