Korean Cultural Centre India has been screening “SAC on Screen” online since 2020, and this time will be the 5th series of the program.
Hwang Il Yong, director of Korean Cultural Centre India said, “In India, its traditional performing arts are encroaching on the performing arts market. Even in this situation, it has its own meaning to introduce Korean excellent performing arts. We present the concert culture which is newly recreated by mixing Western music contents with the most Korean venues, Korean traditional architecture and Korean festival culture. I hope this concert culture may give some insight to my India friends how to preserve and develop their own culture while not being isolated or left behind in the era of globalization.”
