First Lady Kim Hye-kyung Visits Youth Orchestra: "I Will Listen to Voices from the Field"

First Lady Kim Hye-kyung visited a government-supported youth orchestra today (June 29) to encourage its members.
Ahn Gwi-ryeong, deputy spokesperson for the Blue House, stated that Kim visited the rehearsal site of the Dream Orchestra at Guro Arts Valley in Guro-gu, Seoul, this afternoon to meet with child and adolescent members, their parents, and music directors.
Kim listened to the members' opinions, saying, "Please tell me if there is any kind of support you would like to have. I will convey it to the President."
She later promised, "I will continue to listen to voices from the field so that children can nurture their dreams and fully unfold their potential through culture and arts."
The Dream Orchestra is part of the Dream Arts Troupe, a youth arts support project by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service, which provides orchestral ensemble training to children and adolescents in local communities.
At the site, Kim was spontaneously invited to a regular concert scheduled for the second half of this year and promised, "I will definitely be there."
Deputy Spokesperson Ahn stated, "The government plans to expand the Dream Arts Troupe project so that more children and adolescents can receive culture and arts education," adding, "The goal is to expand from supporting 150 groups this year to 360 groups by 2030."
