Book Description:   Western music is ubiquitous now in Korea. The country's radio and television programming is interspersed every day with the music of great Western composers from all ages. Concerts and recitals are so numerous in Seoul that one cannot attend even a fraction of them on a given day. Symphony orchestras are popping up here and there, even in once-sleepy provincial towns. Korea's aspiring musicians are flooding many renowned conservatories in Europe and America. Many young Korean musicians have been accorded international fame, and they are gracing the great concert halls of the world. Korea has become a land where music blossoms and flourishes. How did it begin? How did Western music take root in Korean soil? What are the stories behind its growth and thriving? Scarcely anyone outside Korea knows about the humble beginnings and fitful growth of Western music during the trying times of Korean history. This book is meant to shed light on this least-known part of Korean life.
