[Performance Introduction] The Reason for Music, The Reason for Travel Walking through a novelist's eyes, 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 the audience 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 storytelling 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. <Germany> Deep in the forest, solitary contemplation Germany is a country perfect for contemplation. It speaks of the value of solitude found amidst lush forests and orderly cities. Listen to German instrumental music flowing with logical yet deep emotion, and lyrical art songs that touch the heart. Like walking along a refreshing forest path in May, it will be a time to clear your cluttered mind and offer calm comfort.
