Hyung Joon Won and the Lindenbaum Organization
Seoul
As I have been working very hard since 2009 to share the value of music for reconciliation and harmony to prevent war in the Korean Peninsula, this Peace Project began with the question of what role music plays in the current war against COVID-19. Playing music can share our ‘connected emotions’ and keep our society peaceful despite the virus’s impact. Therefore I’ve chosen to perform at the hospital for medical staff who are sacrificing their lives and healing them through music; this is another offering to my peace involvement for our society.
