The 41st Kyushu Contemporary Music Festival, organized by the Kyushu Composers Association, with the cooperation of the Nagasaki OMURA Chamber Ensemble, Chitose Pia Hall, and Kwassui Women's University, will showcase works by six composers from Kyushu and beyond.
Additionally, we will present a memorial performance of works by the late U Jong-eok 禹 鐘億, who laid the foundation for exchange between the Kyushu Composers Association and the Yeongnam Composers Association.
The concert is available both at the venue and online. Guests from distant locations can also enjoy the performance from home via streaming, so we encourage you to take advantage of this option.
