Moments of Classical Music Shared Through Listener Stories

The public recording is planned in a format that covers both the musicians' stages and the listeners' experiences. According to EBS, the program is prepared to meet the 'moments when classical music is needed' that have come into each person's life through the musicians' performances and stories, and to share the meaning that classical music holds for us today. Listener stories will be accepted, capturing moments in daily life when classical music holds meaning, such as times when one was comforted through music or when facing a new beginning.

Stories are being accepted under the theme "The moment I need classical music." Applicants can leave their stories on the 'Public Recording Application' board of the EBS 「Jung Kyung's Classic Classic」 website. Audience members will be selected by lottery from among those who submitted stories, and winners will be notified individually via text message on October 15. EBS stated that the composition of the public recording expands the radio broadcast to the concert hall venue by having musicians and the audience share stories on stage.
