2nd Performance of KCC Choir 시카고 한인 문화회관 합창단 제 2회 정기공연

The second regular performance of the Chicago Korean Cultural Center Choir was held at the Wheeling Korean Culture Center on March 3. The performance, which featured a total of 12 German and Korean songs under the theme of “Poems and Songs”, was performed under the direction of Kim, Jung-ah, with a special appearance by Lee, Ae-rim and Baritone Lee Soo-young. Founded by the Chicago Cultural Center choir is 2014, chairman of the Guwk, Nowha since been active in Chicago local communities. It performed Beethoven Symphony No.9 at the annual fund event in 2015 and 2017 and held the first annual concert in 2018 under the theme of Mozart’s Night, making it a choral group representing Chicago’s Korean society.

This second solo performance is meaningful in that it has helped to comfort and impress the Korean people by showing familiar songs and further promoting the artistic qualities of Korean and German songs through choruses. Now, we hope that the “Cultural Center Choir” will become the focal point for connecting the first generation of Korean community with the second- and third one. Most audience commented, “I felt as if I could hear spring comes with songs familiar to Koreans,” and added, “I was moved by the song by MC Kim Soo-hyun, who read the lyrics in Korean before the song started.” On this day, the choir finished the performance after singing two more encore songs at the request of the audience.
