The performance, attended by about 100 people, including patients and medical staff, lasted approximately 40 minutes. The young musicians performed the overture to Rossini's The Barber of Seville, Yang Bang-ean's "Frontier," and "Waltz of the Flowers" from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, among other pieces.

The concert was organized to give local young people who learned to play instruments with Hanwha's support an opportunity to thank firefighters and medical staff and cheer on patients and their families. The National Fire Hospital, which officially opened in June this year, is the country's first specialized hospital for firefighters and also serves as a regional general hospital for local residents.

The Hanwha Youth Orchestra is a cultural and arts social contribution program that Hanwha Group has run since 2014 for young people in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, and Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province. Each year, it provides around 60 young people with instrument lessons from professional instructors and opportunities to play in an ensemble. About 800 people have participated to date. The orchestra will hold its regular concert at Cheongju Art Hall on November 12.

Kim Yuna, a second-year student at Cheongju Jungang Girls' Middle School who took part in the performance, said, "It was meaningful to perform the pieces we had practiced in front of patients and medical staff. I hope there will be many more opportunities to bring joy to others through music."
