The academic culture of a university is thought to be born of the harmony of scientific study and the arts. Considering that intellect and emotions are found together in the cultural marketplace of the university, music is the best medium for creating this academic culture through the fusion of intellect and emotion. |

With an over-300 square-meter orchestral hall, rooms for chamber music ensembles and lesson rooms the Orchestral Music Department focuses more on technical capabilities (rooted in a deep understanding and knowledge of musical works and theories) rather than on the acquisition of a disjointed knowledge of music. At the same time, we help students acquire aesthetic senses and understand the philosophies necessary for musicians through effective and active performance practices. The performing practices consist of weekly performance classes, annual orchestral concerts, brass and band concerts, country/provincial concert tours, and concerts abroad.
