General
Kumho Art Hall is situated in the heart of downtown Seoul on the third floor of Daewoo E&C. Performances and held more than 5 times a week there, three that we are part of planned series by Kumho Asiana Cultural Foundation(Kumho Art Hall 'Beautiful Thursday Concert Series', 'Kumho Prodigy Concert Series', 'Kumho Young Artist Concert Series') and another five where the hall's space is rented out to musicians. Performances are thus held every day of the year at Kumho Art Hall, ensuring that music never ceases to be heard in its hallowed space.
Beautiful Thursday Series
In June 1997 the late Seong-Yawng Park, Chairman of Kumho Asiana Cultural Foundation launched what became knowns as the 'Gallery Concert', a novel concept at the time in that it was held in a music space, namely Kumho Museum of Art. The series provided musicians with a space in which to present their talent, while giving the public a chance to listen to classical music. Following the opening of Kumho Art Hall in December 2000, the gallery concert was reborn as the Friday Special Concert Series that saw performances every Friday as its new abode. When this series celebrated its 10th anniversary in June 2007, it launched itself new again as the Beautiful Thursday Series. Established Korean artists including Dong-Suk Kang, Daejin Kim, Kyung-wha Chung, Myung-wha Chung, and international musicians of note such as Jörg Demus, Heinz Holliger, Igor Ozim, Miriam Fried, and Matthew Barley, have performed there.
