Artistic Director | Choong-Keun Oh An Icon of Classical Music in Busan Choong-Keun Oh has made his mark as a Korean conductor on the world's great stages, from the Berlin Philharmonie, the Vienna Musikverein and Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre to Prague's Smetana Hall. A graduate of Seoul National University and its graduate school and of the Boston Conservatory, he joined the KBS Symphony Orchestra as a first violinist and was recruited as concertmaster of the Busan Philharmonic, becoming Korea's youngest concertmaster at 25. During seven years as concertmaster he did much to raise the Busan Philharmonic to a new level. He has since performed in major concert halls in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, the US, Japan and Russia, and has conducted leading orchestras at home and abroad, including the Berlin Symphony, Tokyo Philharmonic, State Hermitage Orchestra, North Czech Philharmonic, Korean National Symphony, Busan Philharmonic and Changwon Philharmonic, raising Korea's profile as a conductor from Busan. Appointed professor at Kosin University in Busan in 1990, he taught for 26 years and has devoted himself to training future professional musicians through programs such as the BNK Happy Music Camp, inspiring music students with creative dreams. Bringing philosophical reflection and musical identity to the podium, he received the 9th KNN Culture Award (2006), the 48th Nanpa Music Award (2016) and Performing Artist of the Year at the 14th Performing Arts Management Awards (2023).

Conductor Choong-Keun Oh (BSO Artistic Director) Guest speaker Jin-Seok Choi (KAIST Distinguished Professor) Guest Speaker | Jin-Seok Choi An Emblem of Today's Intellect He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in philosophy at Sogang University and his doctorate at the Graduate School of Peking University. He has served as professor of philosophy at Sogang University and founding director of Geonmyeongwon, and for over 20 years has shared the power of humanistic insight through lectures and writing. He is now chairman of the nonprofit Saemal Saemomjit (New Words, New Gestures) and principal of its Basic School, which he runs at Hojeopmongga in his hometown of Hampyeong, nurturing the next generation.

Dvořák Serenade for Strings in E major, Op. 22 - Mvt. 5 Barber Adagio for Strings, Op. 11 Beethoven String Quartet No. 13 in B-flat major, Op. 130 - Mvt. 5 'Cavatina' Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings in C major, Op. 48 - Mvt. 4 The oldest question we ask ourselves is set upon the resonance of strings. 'Myeonggyeonmanri' Series III, Who Am I?, is a stage where Choong-Keun Oh's music meets the thought of guest speaker Jin-Seok Choi. The finale of Dvořák's Serenade for Strings refreshes the flow with buoyant energy, and the long-drawn breath of Barber's Adagio for Strings illuminates the inner self. The 'Cavatina' from Beethoven's String Quartet No. 13, steeped in the restrained emotion of his late style, reveals the human face in stillness like a confession, and the bright, expansive energy of the fourth movement of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings brings the evening to a close. Not where the question ends, but a stage that becomes the starting point toward one's true self.
