The concert aims to spotlight the talents of young musicians and a teenage composer, marking a compact showcase of Korea's next generation of classical musicians. The program begins with the world premiere of "Nachtlicher Monolog" (Nocturnal Monologue), a work by Lee Tae-hwan, the winner of the 2026 KCO Composition Competition.

Other featured musicians include violinist Park Ye-hoon, the grand-prize winner of the 2025 KCO Competition, and clarinetist Kim Ye-eun. The concert, conducted by Kim Jae-yoon, will offer a unique opportunity to witness the emerging talents of Korea's classical music scene.
