ABOUT THE NATIONAL GUGAK CENTER
Gugak, or traditional Korean music, has been passed down through the ages and represents the breath of Korean history and culture. The National Gugak Center is the principal institution engaged in producing and disseminating traditional Korean music and dance. The Center’s Court Music Orchestra, Folk Music Group, Traditional Dance Theater, and Contemporary Gugak Orchestra actively perform to preserve and develop gugak. Also, the Gugak Research Office was established for academic research on Korea n music.
In addition to performance and research, the Center is engaged in education, and provides lectures for teachers, families, and foreign residents in Korea.
The Center’s museum exhibits 5,000 items representing the history of Korean music. The Namwon National Gugak Center for Changgeuk, the Jindo National Gugak Center (known for its training programs), and the Busan National Gugak Center are affiliated branches.
