The Seoul Metropolitan Government will hold a music festival on a Han River island near the Hangang Grand Bridge from Saturday to Sunday.

The festival will begin with the main event, a concert with commentary by the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, from 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.

The orchestra will play classics, original soundtracks, and 20th century Korean music with commentary. It will also play a selection of pieces with the theme of rivers and water, since the concert is being held to celebrate an island.

Additionally, musical actors will sing, as will the choruses of Yongsan and Dongjak districts and the general public. Splashy fireworks are also planned.

On the second day, a concert featuring a wide variety of genres will be held. A large-scale percussion instrumental performance will be put on by the Institute of Traditional Percussion Music and the Goyang High School of Arts. The popular Korean singers Kim Bum Soo and Insooni will also perform.
