Kumho Cutural Art Foundation

Seokjojeon Classic Concert is a classic salon concert held in the lobby of Seokjojeon in Deoksugung Palace. In 2018, Kumho Cultural Foundation made a mutual agreement with Deoksugung Palace to arrange concerts performed by Kumho Soloists.

Seokjojeon is the first Western-style stone building inside Deoksugung Palace built in the period of Emperor Gojong. There is a history that concert of pianist Young Hwan Kim was held in the building, and this Seokjojeon Classic Concert is being presented based on this heritage. Seokjojeon Classic Concert is held every last Wednesday evening of a month from March to November, and the concert has established itself as one of the most loved programs by Korean citizens.

Kumho Art Hall One Day Vision Program is a vocational program that allows Korean youth who have an interest in working in the arts field in the future to experience what it’s like to work in the classical music industry for a day.

They are involved in the whole procedure of concert preparation from the beginning till the end. This includes hands on experience working backstage as well as front of house of the concert hall. Furthermore, they get to hear the experiences of those who currently work in this field as well as insider knowledge of how to pursue their chosen career in the future.

The Mobile Kumho Art Hall is an educational outreach program that the Kumho Group launched in 2011 in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Science Technology. This program presents classical music concerts at culturally disadvantaged destinations.

The Mobile Kumho Art Hall provides the highest level of classical music with musicians cultivated and supported by KCF, Kumho Art Hall Artist-in-Residence, and other programs. Friendly interpretation is added to the music so that people begin to feel comfortable listening to classical music. The Mobile Kumho Art Hall also aims to provide a foundation for emotional and artistic development for children in these areas.
