The Korea Racing Authority (Chairman Chung Ki-hwan) will hold an outdoor concert in the forest of a youth orchestra in farming and fishing villages at Jangsu Ranch on the 4th to pray for development after the launch of the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province.

The Korea Young Dream Orchestra (KYDO), sponsored by the Korea Racing Authority Social Contribution Foundation, is the only rural youth orchestra in Korea established in 2011 by benchmarking Venezuela's music education system 'El Sistema'.

About 100 youth performers from Gyeongsang, Jeolla and Chungcheong regions will participate in the concert, which will be held on the lawn of Jangsu Ranch, which features an idyllic landscape with horses and nature.




The 90-minute performance will feature a number of classic and popular songs, including Osolemio, Game of Thrones OST, Mamma Mia OST, and beautiful Gangsan, and can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

Prior to the performance, various programs such as horse riding experience and tractor tour, including a 4 billion won visit, are also prepared, which is expected to be a meaningful time to enhance artistic sensitivity and relaxation for citizens who are tired of the long heat this summer.

In addition, emergency rescue personnel and ambulances will be deployed in preparation for possible safety accidents, and additional personnel will be deployed through institutional collaboration with Jangsu Fire Station's Janggye 119 Center (chief Kang Dong-il).




Yoo Seong-eon, the Jangsu Ranch of the Korean Horse Association, said, "This outdoor concert in the forest is a meaningful event held in collaboration with orchestras in various regions, and I hope that the harmony of words, nature, and music will be a wonderful memory for visitors. We will continue to make efforts to ensure that Jangsu Ranch can be used as a leisure and rest area for local residents in the future."
