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. <Spain> Passion Hotter Than the Sun At the tail end of summer and on the threshold of autumn, we depart for the land of passion. Telling the story of the resilient energy of the Spanish people who overcome even harsh environments with passion, we present music with intense rhythms that make the heart race. Intense and splendid music, like crimson autumn leaves, fills the stage. [Program] M. de Falla ‘Spanish Dance No. 1’ from the Opera <La Vida Breve> A. Piazzolla Oblivion A.
