[Joongang Daily News] Dream of Heart-to-Heart Orchestra

Date : 2008-11-25 Hit : 24,661

They are all 21. Among them are 14 years old boy and 26 years old adult. But all of them are inarticulate. There is a member who began talking after 20 years old. Autism binds their body and intellectual disorder shakes their spirit. The thing connecting them is music. They opened their mind with flute and met the world blowing trumpet.

 

 

The conductor Seongho Park(34) said, “Sitting them on chair was the hardest thing in the beginning.” The members behaved as they want. The practice easily turned into chaos. Such ‘reckless orchestra’ performed at the opening ceremony for the foundation in 2006. They performed three times in that year. They stood on stage 15 times last year, followed by consecutive invitations from hospitals and welfare centers. They performed 7 times touring Chicago and Los Angeles in the end of September. Elmhurst in the suburb of Chicago set September 28 as ‘Heart-to-Heat Wind Orchestra’ day. On Oct. 23, there was no seat left at Seongnam Art Center where the orchestra’s special concert was taken place.
