In particular, since last year, S-Oil has been supporting the establishment and operation of a standard workplace for people with disabilities for the orchestra, helping the members build a stable employment foundation so they can continue their economic activities as musicians.


Each year, on the Day of Persons with Disabilities, S-Oil holds the "Sunshine Sharing Concert" at its headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and provides sponsorship funds to the Heart Heart Foundation. As of this year, the total accumulated sponsorship amount has reached 1.7 billion won. The funds are used for training cultural and artistic instructors for orchestra members with developmental disabilities, as well as for disability awareness education for students and citizens.


Thanks to this ongoing support, the Heart Heart Orchestra moved an audience of about 800 people at the performance on June 25. The musicians with developmental disabilities received enthusiastic applause for their high-level classical performances, and they are scheduled to continue with another concert at Sky Art Hall in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, on September 29.



A representative from S-Oil stated, "The beautiful harmony perfected by the orchestra members through long hours of practice deeply touched many in the audience. We will continue to support young people with developmental disabilities who have musical talent, so they can pursue their dreams. By creating a stable employment environment and supporting cultural and artistic activities, we will fulfill our corporate social responsibility."
