It is my great honour and joy beyond expression to
have this historical concert at Musikverein in the heart
of Vienna, the Capital of Music!
Seoul Arts High School (Yego) has produced
excellent artists(14,000 so far) in the fields of music,
fine art and dancing since 1953. It means Yego has taken
a role as the cultural center of Korea and the witness
toward 21st century.
I'm sure Yego's pride and confidence is based on its
unique philosophy of foundation and principles of education
distinct from any other schools. Yego was founded on
the Christian philosophy of Liberty, Love and Peace
with the purpose of cultivating verified young artists
in terms of artistic interest and talent to make them
truly professional artists. Therefore, Yego has endeavored
to cultivate true human beings as well as embrace speciality
of art education.
I believe arts basically assume that 'We are all one
family'. I also learned from my teacher this precious
lesson that "Art is a family". The first step
toward this is to serve others and respect them in daily
life and to grow positivity and competitiveness to participate
in reform with no fear.
I believe that Yego's concert at Musikverein will
open a new scheme to show how our efforts so far compose
history and tradition and create new future. For I know
that our little hearts will gather together to create
God's great symphony toward home, society and all mankinds.
Therefore, we are on this tiresome but irregrettable
journey today.
I'd appreciate it very much if you kindly give us
a big applaud of encouragement and criticism to let
us fly over the sky toward this passion and hope with
our young and innocent players.
Last of all, I'd like to express my special thanks
to the parents and teachers who endeavored very hard
for this concert and the conductor Mr Gum who contribute
his precious time and energy. I pray God's boundless
grace will be with them all forever.
