2017 고궁에서 우리음악듣기 The country's cultural calendar is packed with options... as Korea's Chuseok thanksgiving holiday draws closer.One organization that always ensures plenty is going on... is the Traditional Performing Arts Foundation,... and this year is no exception... with something for everyone.Cha Sang-mi has more on a special performance at one of Seoul's best-loved landmarks. Passersby are mesmerized by an intriguing performance of Korean traditional music and dance.As part of this year's Korean traditional music festival, a contemporary fusion performance is being held at Gyeongbokgung Palace - the largest of the five remaining Joseon Dynasty palaces in Seoul.(Stand-up) "The palace setting adds something to the play's atmosphere,... and if you really want to get in the mood,... entry is free of charge for those dressed in 'Hanbok', Korea's traditional clothing." The Korean Traditional Performing Arts Foundation, under Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, was founded in 2009 with the purpose of preserving and passing down Korea's traditional arts.(KOREAN) "We've hosted this program since 2010. Previously, visitors to the palace would briefly drop by, but our shows have become massively popular over the years. Now our audience comes to the palace just to see our plays." This year's Gyeongbokgung performance features a contemporary interpretation of Korean King Jeongjo's encounter with Prince Hamlet of Denmark.(KOREAN) "It's obviously nice to perform inside halls, but the scenic beauty provided by the palace makes it a whole new experience. I believe it makes our performance all the more fascinating when its held in this ancient palace."(KOREAN) "I wasn't sure what kind of play it was from far away. I thought it was a Korean traditional play, but I saw it was a mixture of Western and Korean figures. It was really well-made." Over the past several years, some 380-thousand Koreans and foreigners have enjoyed the program,... while soaking in the stunning night view provided by Korea's palaces. The concert program takes place twice a year in four different palaces and shrines in Seoul during spring and fall.Cha Sang-mi, Arirang News.Arirang News Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/arirangtvnews ------------------------------------------------------------[Subscribe Arirang Official YouTube]ARIRANG TV: http://www.youtube.com/arirang ARIRANG RADIO: http://www.youtube.com/Music180Arirang ARIRANG NEWS: http://www.youtube.com/arirangnews ARIRANG K-POP: http://www.youtube.com/arirangworld ARIRANG ISSUE: http://www.youtube.com/arirangtoday ARIRANG CULTURE: http://www.youtube.com/arirangkorean ARIRANG FOOD & TRAVEL : http://www.youtube.com/ArirangFoodTravel ------------------------------------------------------------[Visit Arirang TV Official Pages]Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/arirangtv Twitter: http://twitter.com/arirangworld Instagram: http://instagram.com/arirangworld Homepage: http://www.arirang.com ------------------------------------------------------------[Arirang K-Pop]YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/arirangworld Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/arirangkpop Google+: http://plus.google.com/+arirangworld
