[January 2, 2020]
YU (President Sur Gil-soo) College of Music students held a small recital to sound off the new year. This was a unique kick-off meeting of YU held on the 2nd.
At the ‘2020 YU Kick-off Meeting’ held at the YU Cheonma Art Center at 10 a.m. on the 2nd, over 200 professors and employees including YU President Sur Gil-soo attended to enjoy the performance and start the first work-day of the new year.
YU College of Music students held an orchestra performance for this recital. The short performance before, during and after the kick-off meeting softened the stiff mood of kick-off meetings making it more comfortable. They performed movie OSTs such as Titanic, Lion King and Scent of a Woman, as well as classical music to help the faculty start their first day of 2020 pleasantly.
YU President Sur Gil-soo said, “We started this new year kick-off ceremony with a small recital with the hope that this warm gift by students will be able to breathe in energy to the professors and employees for the new year.” He added, “I hope that like this beautiful performance of orchestral harmony, faculty, students and all YU members will work hard this year for the development of our school.”
Meanwhile, YU also ended the year with the Year-end Recital in 2019, which was received with huge praise from members of YU. The year-end recital was joined by vocalists representing Korea in the global stage, YU professors, musical actors and jazz vocalists, with popular alumni putting on performances of various genres on stage.
