Healing with Classical Music: A Special Monthly Meeting in Pyeongtaek

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City announced that starting this month, it will conduct monthly meetings as a non-face-to-face healing program for employees.

On June 2nd, the city held the June monthly meeting as a non-face-to-face classical concert to provide comfort to employees exhausted by COVID-19 pandemic prevention and quarantine efforts.

The city had not held monthly meetings to prevent the spread of the virus in the local community.

The June monthly meeting was organized as a special lecture on 'Humanities with Classical Music' to provide healing for employees fatigued by emergency response operations at the disaster safety headquarters, monitoring of those in self-isolation, conducting fever screening at the municipal building, and operating screening clinics.

The concert was hosted by actor and director Jung Jin, featuring classical music and opera performances by the Universal Brass Ensemble team. The performance was filmed and posted on the city's internal administrative network so employees could watch it anytime.

Pyeongtaek Mayor Jung Jang-sun said, "I sincerely thank all our employees for their hard work with COVID-19 emergency operations," and added, "I hope this small opportunity for healing through classical music becomes a chance for all public officials to regain strength to serve our citizens."
