Crown Haetae Confectionery will host the 21st annual Changsinje Festival from October 10 to 12 at Seoul's Grand Theater of Sejong Center for the Performing Arts. The festival brings together traditional Korean music and dance on one stage, emphasizing the preservation and creative development of Korea's traditional arts. Organized by a private company since 2004, Changsinje has grown into one of Korea's largest privately organized traditional music performances.
This year's theme focuses on Sujecheon, a representative piece of Korean traditional court music with roots in the Baekje-era song "Jeongeupsa" and evolution through the Goryeo and Joseon periods. The festival's performance lineup includes the Seoul Metropolitan Traditional Orchestra, Crown Haetae employees, and a newly created dance performance titled "Obangjeongjae," which combines three traditional court dances.
Additionally, the "Young Talents Haneumhoe Changsinje Special Performance" will showcase young musicians supported by Crown Haetae. Crown Haetae aims to preserve traditional musical forms while presenting them to contemporary audiences, ensuring the continued appreciation and enjoyment of Korea's rich cultural heritage.
