On March 26, Sookmyung Women’s University (SMU) presented a "Concert for freshmen" performed by the Sookmyung String Ensemble. All performances were held on the first floor of the Sookmyung Women’s University Main Library. The Sookmyung String Ensemble belongs to SMU College of Music and consists of students who major in string instruments. The program consisted of two parts, a string ensemble and a cello ensemble. First, W.A. Mozart’s Serenade ‘Eine Klene Nachtmusik’ was performed and then J. Pachelbel’s ‘Canon and Gigue’ followed. According to the conductor, Chae Hui Cheol, who is a professor at SMU’s College of Music , “Considering the audience is freshmen, we selected music which is bright and cheerful. We wanted to give a present to freshmen.” After the string ensemble, the cello ensemble took over and the concert ran for about one hour. Lee So Jung, of the Department of Multimedia, said “I studied hard to enter university so I’ve never had the experience of going to any concert. However, the concert in the library provided a relaxed atmosphere and through listening to music I could relieve my mind.” It attracted public interest. Not only freshmen but other students who were studying on other floors, graduates and professors, all together enjoyed the musical performance.
