Greetings! I am a conductor, Hee-churl Kim. I am very grateful to see that many choral musicians from abroad and people who love music share their culture and perform at the G. Puccini International Choral Festival in Lucca, where is a beautiful city and G. Puccini’s home country. Through this festival, I hope this event becomes a place where choral musicians can interact each other and share their folk music and artistic choral compositions. I wish Lucca G. Puccini International Choral Festival, Italy, becomes a loved event by all the people in choral field with Jeju International Choir Festival & Symposium, which I’m holding in Jeju as the artistic director. I would like to invite you all with anticipating happy sounds, which will be resound in Catholic churches and concert venues where are beautiful, antique and traditional.
