South Korean nationals under the age of 20 are given the opportunity to receive lessons free of charge from top musicians, perform onstage and win cash prizes.Ī total of 27 students ― nine per instrument/category ― were chosen through an audition in May. The first in the country to combine a music academy and competition for young prodigies, the program aims to foster talents for the piano, violin and cello. The inaugural edition of the Seoul Arts Center Music Academy & Competition for Talented Students took off Sunday and will run through Saturday at Seoul Arts Center and Kumho Art Hall.
