Incheon City Chorale is the pride of Incheon Metropolitan City, the global city of Korea, and at the same time the pride of the Korean choral. Since its establishment in 1981 and re-establishment in 1995, the Incheon City Chorale has been ceaselessly evolving by the leading of Hakwon Yoon, the current art director. The chorale was always at its best. Their superb performance and passion has been the icon not only of Korea but also of Asia choral. Most of the audience who come to see them falls into great amazement because of their surpassing performance and stage planning. Not to mention the perfection of the performance, the chorale delivers boundless impressions by expressing various themes such as colorful sensitivities, meaning of life, God and human, human and human through various choral methods-extreme tense and sublimity, sometimes in comic way-and distinguished musical language. Also, their dynamic performance such as adding humor to an extreme tense, and great character interpretations of each member make audience gets absorbed into it. It is right to say that the Incheon City Chorale possesses all the attractiveness that the choral art could give on the stage.
The world has first recognized their ability. 3000 conductors all rose to praise the Incheon City Chorale for three times in 1997 Belgium 15th Anniversary of IFCM Establishment World Choral Festival and in Austria Europa Cantat. Through their performances in 1999 Rotterdam Netherlands World Choral Symposium Invitation Performance, Europe Tour, 2002 Busan Choral Olympics Gala Concert, 2004 Taiwan World Choral Festival Invitation Performance, April 2005 US Tour: LA, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, 2006 Japan NHK New Years Concert Invitation Performance, 2007 Japan 3 Metropolitan Cites Tour, and especially in New York Carnegie Hall and in Japan, the chorale received favorable notice from critiques; the best performance that deeply touched the hearts of the audience. Also, in 2009 US ACDA Invitation National Convention, in astonishment, thousands of audience praised with fantastic applause just right after the first song. All of these prove their superb ability. It is just not enough to describe the Incheon City Chorale with only of their untouchable performance. For the past few years, they have been introducing prominent modern chorus to Korea thus standing in the front line of enlightenment. Now, through a full time composer (Hyo-won Woo), they are constantly making exceptional and modernized chorus with Korean traditional music as its source and became the first generation to globalizing their work to the world.
Their work is the very first challenge and fruit of Korean choral making a global leap. Being a mentor to Korea and world choral by taking the initiative of change, and also being an open minded choral trying to have sincere communication with audience give them the absolute value which makes them not to be judge only by their performing art. Challenging and creative spirit of the Incheon City Chorale has caught the eyes of Korea, Asia and the world, and this is now no more surprising news.
