MPyC will be performed at Alpensia Concert Hall in PyeongChang, Gangwon Province, from Feb. 5 to 7 as well as on its YouTube channel. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the schedule for the venue was shortened to three days and only Korean artists will perform.
Under the theme "Sweet Silence," Handel's "9 German Aria" will be performed on the first day of the event by talented performers such as soprano Im Sun-hae, who comes from Gangwon Province; violinist Yang In-mo, the winner of the 54th Premio Paganini International Violin Competition in 2015; cellist Lee Hoe-chan; and pianist Park Sang-wook.
