On Tuesday, October 27, Kookmin University’s Myeongwon Museum hosted the 2026 TEAGARDEN FESTIVAL, titled “Myeongwon Matinee: Autumn,” in the Seonggokheon Permanent Exhibition Hall at the Myeongwon Museum.

Under the theme “A Stroll Through the Garden of Time: Seven Melodies at the Myeongwon Museum,” this performance was designed to allow visitors to experience music and art together amid the serene atmosphere of a traditional Korean hanok. Professors and students from the Orchestral Performance Department at Kookmin University’s College of Arts participated, treating the audience to a diverse musical program that harmonized with the autumn ambiance.

The program featured a total of seven pieces, including Ennio Morricone’s “Gabriel’s Oboe,” “The Path Where the Flower Breeze Blows” (the theme song from the drama *Sungkyunkwan Scandal*), Jules Massenet’s “Meditation from Thaïs,” Yoo Hee-yeol’s “In the Park,” Rachmaninoff’s “Vocalise,” Gabriel Fauré’s “After a Dream,” and Manuel Ponce’s “Little Star”—for a total of seven pieces.

In particular, video footage of cultural heritage sites and artworks related to each piece was presented alongside the music, allowing the audience to appreciate the music from diverse artistic perspectives. Cultural and artistic spaces from around the world, paintings, and the traditional hanok and garden scenery of the Myeongwon Museum blended with the music, enhancing the emotional depth of the performance.

This event was a cultural and artistic program designed to let participants experience the harmony of music and visual arts by utilizing a traditional cultural space; it was significant in that it provided an opportunity for university members and local residents to enjoy art together.

The Myeongwon Museum plans to continue engaging with visitors and expanding opportunities for cultural enjoyment through programs that integrate the museum’s space, collections, and diverse cultural and artistic content.
