Introduction

Established in November 2004 as Dongdaemun Youth Orchestra, it was converted to a gu (district) orchestra in October 2009. Starting with a foundation ceremony and concert in 2010, it has held regular concerts at Grand Peace Palace, Kyung Hee University, putting on display a fantastic harmony by 80 members led by Conductor Kim Jung-ki and Vice Director Jung Young-su.
