- 26.09.01 / 홍유민
On Monday, August 10, the Department of Music in the College of Arts at Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) hosted the 2026 Dream Orchestra Eunpyeong Summer Camp, titled “Creating Summer Melodies Together,” at the Kookmin University Arts Center for members of the “Eunpyeong” Dream Orchestra, operated by the Eunpyeong Cultural Foundation.
Held under the subtitle “A Special Day with Kookmin University’s Department of Music,” this camp was organized through a collaboration between the Eunpyeong Cultural Foundation and Kookmin University and was designed to allow members of the “Eunpyeong” Dream Orchestra to experience the university’s professional music education environment firsthand. The members utilized the Department of Music’s specialized facilities, such as major-specific practice rooms and the orchestra hall, to participate in sectional rehearsals and full orchestra performances. In particular, undergraduate music majors served as mentors, joining the members for sectional rehearsals, while special lectures by faculty members and ensemble programs were also held, providing the members with an opportunity to experience more professional music education and further enhance their musical abilities.
Jang Woo-yoon, CEO of the Eunpyeong Cultural Foundation, stated, “The summer camp held in collaboration with Kookmin University was a valuable experience for the members, allowing them to immerse themselves in practice within a new environment and broaden their perspective on music.” He added, “The experience gained in the university’s professional educational setting served as a positive stimulus for the members’ musical growth, and we were able to share the results with the local community through the subsequent ‘Progress Concert.’”
Kang Kyung Mo, Dean of the College of Arts at Kookmin University, remarked, “We believe that arts education creates greater value when it extends beyond the university campus and connects with the local community.” He continued, “Moving forward, we will continue to create opportunities for diverse exchanges and collaboration, leveraging the university’s expertise and educational capabilities, so that local youth can expand their dreams and possibilities through the arts.”
Meanwhile, Kookmin University, celebrating its 80th anniversary, is preparing for a new leap toward the next 100 years under the vision of “A University Setting the Standard for Higher Education” and the slogan “Make the Rule, Break the Rule.” To this end, the university has established “KMU VISION 2035: EDGE,” its mid- to long-term development strategy, and selected eight specialized fields to intensively strengthen the university’s competitiveness. “Design & Content” was selected as one of these areas, and the university is planning various programs based on its educational philosophy of community spirit to foster mutual growth between the university and the local community.
