Classical MusicIn June 1997, KCF launched the Kumho Gallery Friday Concert that was witness to prominent musicians’ performances which, in the then barren classical music circle, were much vaunted by both artists and audiences. The Gallery Friday Concert served as a center for musical activity for the former, and allowed a much deserved cultural experience for the latter. The concert series was reborn as the Friday Special Concert Series and then as the Beautiful Thursday Series and is recognized as iconic chamber concert series in Korea.
The Beautiful Thursday Concert Series has had the honor of presenting many renowned artists from both home and abroad, and showcases the highest caliber of classical music to a Korean audience. The Beautiful Thursday Concert Series also encompasses the ‘Kumho Rising Star Series’ which is designed to introduce promising young musicians to audiences. Beyond this, other performances explore various musical themes, embracing a wide range of composers through different periods, in order to quench the thirst of classical music patrons.
