"The Fragrance of Spring," a delightful performance was presented tonight at the historic Davis Theatre on the campus of Troy State University - Montgomery. Sena Son, Director of Comprehensive Arts for AKEEP (Alabama - Korea Education and Economic Partnership) planned a "beautiful blend of Korean and Western musical instruments, traditional Korean Dance and Opera storytelling known as Pansori."
The story was inspired by The Tale of Chun-Hyang, a musical love story from the Joseon Dynasty, popular in Korea. The multidisciplinary performers traveled from the Republic of Korea to share their art and culture with Americans. The conclusion featured a happy celebration with audience members recruited to dance on stage!
A second performance is scheduled for January 22 at 6:00 p.m. at the Opelika Center for Performing Arts.
