The audience can also visit the Nangye Traditional Music Museum to learn about Nangye Park Yeon and gugak instruments and to participate in other programs to experience traditional Korean culture and music. Nangye Gugak Troupe has spread the beauty of Korean traditional music from 2007 when it started performances in foreign countries including Japan, China, Australia, and the U.S., and its performance has been regarded as one of Korea's representative gugak performances.

Synopsis

The regular performances of Nangye Gugak Troupe, which started in 2008 to commemorate the legendary musician born in Yeongdong, Nangye Park Yeon, are famous for their fantastic mixture of traditional and contemporary music. The harmony of each instrument played by the orchestra-resembling troupe leads the audience to be fully immersed into the show. Sometimes the troupe makes the performance more rich and exciting by performing with popular singers and opera singers. As the troupe is not limited to a certain genre but enjoys the music itself, anyone regardless of age and gender can enjoy the essence of traditional Korean music.
