Synopsis

[Performance Introduction] The Reason for Music, The Reason for Travel Walking through the eyes of a novelist, remembering Europe through the melodies of music Why do we travel? Bestselling author and storyteller of our time, Kim Young-ha, serves as the host of the 2026 Matinee Series, inviting audiences to the romantic cities of Europe. This series is a high-quality lecture concert that weaves together classical music with the unfamiliar landscapes and people the author encountered while traveling through Italy, Germany, France, and Spain, as well as the humanistic insights he drew from them. It vividly brings the brilliant sunlight, solitary contemplation, and artistic inspiration felt during his travels onto the stage. During the leisurely hours of the morning, <Author Kim Young-ha’s Music>—a blend of the author’s charming wit and performances filled with local atmosphere—will be a special respite that will reawaken the "reason for travel" for those weary from their repetitive daily lives. <France> Walking Through Paris, the City of Romance In October, as autumn deepens, simply walking in France becomes an art form. You encounter the aroma of coffee from outdoor cafés, the breeze of the Seine, and artistic inspiration overflowing in every street. Melodies imbued with Paris's dreamy atmosphere blend together, allowing you to fully experience the autumnal charm of Paris without having to travel far. [Program] C. Debussy Petite Suite, L. 65: I.
