The young pianists participating in this concert will play the Steinway piano, the pride of Uijeongbu Music Library, and will receive in-depth feedback from experts in the field. This stage, consisting of classical piano solos by young pianists, is expected to be enriched even more with the participation of special performers.

The first performer to grace the stage is Song Ji Oh, a third-year student at Yewon School who recently applied for this concert. He said, “I want to deliver joy and comfort to many people through the Young Artist Concert,” and expressed his aspirations, saying, “I will continue to challenge myself and grow using the performance at the music library as a stepping stone.”

In this concert, students who participated in the Young Artist Concert in the past will also shine on the stage with their mature appearance. Lee Cheong-eun, a freshman at Samyuk University who participated in the first concert, has won awards in various competitions and is growing as a pianist. Kim Ri-won, a sophomore at Seonhwa Arts High School, has been recognized for her skills by winning awards in various competitions. In addition, Lee Ji-eun will participate again this year, following her third concert last year, and will show steady development.

The overall evaluation of this concert will be done by Steinway Artist and pianist Kyung-Eun Kim. She has been actively releasing many albums including ‘Soundscape’ and ‘Dreams’, and will provide the participants with advice on deep musical interpretation and expression.

The concert consists of Part 1, a youth piano performance, and Part 2, a general review. Anyone who is elementary school age or older can enter on a first-come, first-served basis without reservation.
