Program Note

​ A sacred event dedicated to God is celebrated at the shrine in the mountains. For over 1,200 years, locals have gathered at the shrine to offer dance and music as a tribute. When news of the event's sudden resumption reaches them, four musicians, who have not practiced in a while, feel embarrassed. Despite their lack of recent experience with instruments and traditional attire, they prepare for the shrine's event. Will they pull it off well? (Kim Song-hee)
