Project Description

To support the successful execution of the 10th Annual Korean Music and Arts Festival as a part of Korea Day 2023 and the continued promotion of Korean traditional music and performing arts.

Organization Summary

1. The Annual Roar Cultural Festival, held since 2022, promotes Korean performing arts to both Korean and non-Korean communities. Its goals are to:
Promote Korean culture through yearly events and ultimately create a “Street of Korean Culture.”
Introduce Korean heritage to non-Koreans through immersive cultural experiences.
Provide performance and collaboration opportunities for artists across cultures.
2. The Annual Korean Traditional Music and Arts Festival, held since 2013 and awarded the Korean Ministerial Prize in 2020, offers:
A performance competition, followed by performance opportunities at high-profile venues like LA Korean Cultural Center (Ari Project), Muckenthaler Cultural Center,
The Source OC, and community outreach sites such as nursing homes and health centers.
Pathways for participants to apply to prestigious Korean contests, such as the Jeonju Metropolitan Amusement Festival and the Eastern Folk Song Festival.
3. Ongoing Outreach Performances & Educational Programs:
We present Korean folk music and culture through performances at schools and community events such as Park’s High, Waldorf School, the Aquarium of the
Pacific Autumn Festival, Korea Culture Day, Fullerton College World Festival, and more.
We also provide educational lectures at institutions like Pepperdine and Loyola University, promoting cross-cultural understanding through Korean traditional arts.
