The Gyeonggi Arts Center will host the third season of its Seoga Concert series on the 20th at 7:30 PM in its small theater. The upcoming performance, titled “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” focuses on the themes of Milan Kundera’s famous novel.

The program will feature music by Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, and Stravinsky to reflect the emotional depth and various perspectives within the story.

Director and picture book author Heo Jeong-yun will provide commentary to guide the audience through the novel's narrative. Musical performances will be provided by the Holz String Quartet and pianists Shin Min-cheol and Choi Se-rin. The event is intended for audiences aged 14 and older and will run for 90 minutes without an intermission.
