Global problems demand global solutions, and going it alone is not a viable option. Whether we are speaking of peace and security, development, or human rights, demands on the UN are growing every day. That is why celebrating United Nations Day is so important. It is an occasion to remember why our Organization was founded, and to reaffirm the goals we are striving for. It offers an opportunity to help build a better understanding of the United Nations -- what it is, what it does, and what it can do. I thank the Government and Permanent Mission of the Republic of Korea, Seoul City Mayor Oh Se-hoon, the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and Maestro Chung Myung-whun for helping to bring us together for this musical celebration. I wish all those attending a splendid evening. Ban Ki-moon Secretary-General Dear Friends, As we all know, music is a universal language. Transcending race, religion and national borders, music can bring diverse peoples together in harmony. Indeed, music is the perfect medium to remind us of the principles and values of the United Nations. Accordingly, the United Nations holds an annual concert to commemorate its founding and to celebrate its unity. It is a great honour for the Republic of Korea and the city of Seoul that the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the United Nations will be graced by the music of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the world-renowned Myung-Whun Chung. The dynamism and passion of the Seoul Philharmonic are a fitting match to the energy and commitment to action of the United Nations in this first year with a new Secretary-General. At the same time, the beauty and elegance of its performance today will pay tribute to the dignity of the principles of the United Nations, and to its ongoing efforts to achieve peace and prosperity for all. Ambassador Kim Hyun Chong Permanent Representative of the Republic of Korea to the United Nations Greetings I would like to congratulate you on the occasion of the 62nd United Nations Day. Let me take this opportunity to pay tribute to those of you who have been working constantly with tireless devotion and passion for world peace and harmony. The United Nations is the single most prominent global institution that is solely committed to global peace and security. It has made significant achievements in making the world a better place for humanity. We honour the principles and values expressed in the Charter, and the City of Seoul will do its part to protect and to serve the interests of the disabled, the weak and the underprivileged so that all people in this world can lead a pleasant life in a favourable environment. It is indeed my greatest honour that Seoul has a part to play in this year’s celebration. I proudly present to you the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, led by the world-renowned Maestro Chung Myung-Whun. I hope you will enjoy their performance. Thank you. Oh Se-hoon Mayor of Seoul Greetings It is a privilege to present a United Nations Day Concert in the presence of so many distinguished guests from around the world. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to His Excellency Ban Ki-moon, Secretary- General of the United Nations, as well as to Mrs. Yoo (Ban) Soon-taek and all officials of the UN, for providing us with this invaluable opportunity. The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra has made tireless efforts to reinvent itself throughout its nearly 60-year history. Through our performances, we strive to unite all people through the universal language of music. We still remember when the world-renowned Toscanini and the New York Philharmonic gave a small concert in a war-ravaged Seoul, and how the performance touched the hearts of many Koreans. In that same spirit, we are now ready to share our gift of music with all of you. I would like to thank all those who have helped us organize tonight's concert, specifically the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Hana Financial Group. I hope that this performance by Maestro Chung Myung-Whun and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra will fill your hearts with joy and warmth. Sincerely, Lee Pal-Seung Chief Executive Officer Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra (SPO), founded in 1948, is the oldest classical orchestra in the Republic of Korea. With the singular goal of becoming a world-class orchestra, SPO was recently re-launched as an incorporated foundation, replacing almost half its members and appointing Lee Pal-Seung as the first Chief Executive Officer. Under the musical direction of Maestro Chung Myung-Whun, SPO has made great strides in the development of Korean classical music, performing a broad repertoire, ranging from baroque to contemporary, at more than 100 concerts a year. SPO’s commitment to its goal is also reflected in the appointment of the first composer-in-residence, Maestra Chin Unsuk, a Korean-born composer whose works are commissioned and performed by major orchestras and new music groups around the world. Past seasons featured such world-class conductors as Charles Dutoit, James Judd, Mikko Frank, Andrey Boreyko, Rossen Milanov, Xian Zhang, and Pinchas Zukerman, as well as the distinguished soloists Leonidas Kavakos (violin), Illya Gringolts (violin), Viviane Hagner (violin), Hae-sun Kang (violin), Jian Wang (cello), Martin Fröst (clarinet), Häkan Hardenberger (trumpet), Gary Graffman (piano), Alexander Melnikov (piano), Nicholas Angelich (piano) and Colin Currie (percussion). In addition to regular subscription concerts, the orchestra’s widely acclaimed community outreach concerts have been a key to the steady growth of classical music audiences in Korea. Under the dynamic musical leadership of Maestro Myung-Whun Chung, the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra is quickly becoming a world-class orchestra representing the Republic of Korea abroad. Music Director Chung Myung-Whun Chung Myung-Whun began his musical career as a pianist and won second prize at the Tchaikovsky piano competition in Moscow in 1974. He became Carlo Maria Giulini's assistant at the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1979, and two years later was named the Associate Conductor. He has conducted virtually all the prominent European and American orchestras and made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1986 with Simon Boccanegra. From 1989 to 1994, Chung Myung-Whun served as the Music Director of the Paris Opera. In 1991, the Association of French Theatres and Music Critics named him Artist of the year; the following year, he received the Légion d’Honneur for his contribution to the Paris Opera. In addition to being awarded numerous music prizes, Chung Myung-Whun has also been honoured with the Republic of Korea’s most distinguished cultural award, Kumkwan, for his contribution to Korean musical life. Chung Myung-Whun became the Music Director of the Asia Philharmonic Orchestra in 1997, the Music Director of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France in 2000, and Special Artistic Advisor to the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra in 2001. Since 2006, he has been the Music Director and Chief Conductor of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. Soprano Shin Youngok Shin Youngok has appeared regularly at the Metropolitan Opera since 1991 in a variety of roles including Gilda in Rigoletto, the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor, Zerlina in Don Giovanni, Elvira in I Puritani, Oscar in Un Ballo in Maschera, Adina in L’Elisir d’Amore, and the Nightingale in L’Enfant et les Sortilèges. She has also appeared in Bianca e Fernando, Lakmé, Lucia, Les Pêcheurs de Perles, Le Nozze di Figaro, Così fan tutte and other operas, performing leading roles in various venues and festivals. Ms. Shin sang in the Met’s New Year's Eve Millennium Gala, the 2001 Gala honouring Giuseppe Verdi and the World Trade Center Relief Benefit.

A native of Seoul, Ms. Shin is the recipient of a number of vocal competition prizes. She holds BM and MM degrees from the Juilliard School of Music.

Originally scheduled for the Hilbert Circle Theatre, the venue change was prompted by the needs of the National Football League and the Indianapolis Super Bowl XLVI Committee to reserve large venues in the downtown area that are capable of hosting various Super Bowl events and activities. Preparations to host NBC’s Live with Jimmy Fallon during Super Bowl week will be underway at the ISO’s home that weekend. This all-Russian classical weekend, conducted by Princeton Symphony Orchestra Music Director Rossen Milanov, will open with Dmitri Shostakovich’s Festive Overture, a light and celebratory piece that the composer wrote to mark the anniversary of the Bolshevik overthrow of the Russian government in 1917. Buniatishvili will introduce herself to Indianapolis audiences in performances of one of the crown jewels of the piano repertoire, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s popular Second Piano Concerto. This glittering and melodic work showcases the technical artistry of the soloist with many rhapsodic moments spotlighting the pianist.

  • SHEDDING LIGHT on BULGARIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAS /PIANO Or FORTЕ
    SHEDDING LIGHT ON BULGARIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAS /PIANO or FORTЕ/ Brief historic notes Orchestral music-making in Bulgaria goes back to mid-nineteenth century when in the Northeastern, multilingual town of Shumen the first ensemble was founded. It had entertainment and promotional purposes rather than serious concert activities. The significance of the ensemble though is mainly in the first establishment of a repertoire (Bulgarian and foreign) which was suitable for performance, as well as bringing together professionally educated national musicians and music-makers. Over WW2 orchestras developed in Bulgaria in lows and peaks. Those days gave rise to the Guards Orchestra (1892) conducted by Joseph Hohola; the Academic Symphony Orchestra (1928) and the Royal Military Symphony Orchestra (1936)both founded in Sofia by Prof. Sasha Popov; the State Philharmonic Orchestra at the National Opera (1935). At concerts in Bulgaria and abroad they perform major works by national and international musical classics. These ensembles invited outstanding guest conductors and soloists – Fausto Magnani, Karl Bohm, Bruno Walter, Edmondo de Vecchi, Emil Kupper, Carlo Zecchi, Henry Marteau, Paul Wittgenstein, Dinu Lipatti etc. After the end of the war the dynamic history of Bulgarian orchestras included both the above listed and numerous new ensembles founded all over the country. The Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra continued the tradition of the Sofia-based ensembles. The Philharmonic has performed with conductors Konstantin Iliev, Dobrin Petkov, Vassil Stefanov, Vladi Simeonov, Dimitar Manolov, Yordan Dafov, Emil Tabakov etc. At approximately the same time the capital saw the rise and establishment of yet another outstanding ensemble – the Symphony Orchestra of the Bulgarian National Radio (1948).

  • The Korean Wave As a Localizing Process: Nation As a Global Actor in Cultural Production
    THE KOREAN WAVE AS A LOCALIZING PROCESS: NATION AS A GLOBAL ACTOR IN CULTURAL PRODUCTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Ju Oak Kim May 2016 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Department of Journalism Nancy Morris, Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Patrick Murphy, Associate Professor, Department of Media Studies and Production Dal Yong Jin, Associate Professor, School of Communication, Simon Fraser University © Copyright 2016 by Ju Oak Kim All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation research examines the Korean Wave phenomenon as a social practice of globalization, in which state actors have promoted the transnational expansion of Korean popular culture through creating trans-local hybridization in popular content and intra-regional connections in the production system. This research focused on how three agencies – the government, public broadcasting, and the culture industry – have negotiated their relationships in the process of globalization, and how the power dynamics of these three production sectors have been influenced by Korean society’s politics, economy, geography, and culture. The importance of the national media system was identified in the (re)production of the Korean Wave phenomenon by examining how public broadcasting-centered media ecology has control over the development of the popular music culture within Korean society. The Korean Broadcasting System (KBS)’s weekly show, Music Bank, was the subject of analysis regarding changes in the culture of media production in the phase of globalization. In-depth interviews with media professionals and consumers who became involved in the show production were conducted in order to grasp the patterns that Korean television has generated in the global expansion of local cultural practices.
