Dream Forest Arts Center is rolling out a full lineup of winter performances, offering everything from classical music and jazz to band concerts and Christmas-themed programs for audiences of all ages.
The season begins on December 13 with a reimagined performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker by resident ensemble Friends of Music. The show blends special video elements with a piano four-hands arrangement, creating an intimate chamber setting that highlights the warmth and fantasy of the original ballet. Pianists Park Jin-woo and Lee Jung-eun lead the performance, guiding audiences into the story’s magical world.
On December 20, the Dream Forest Band Concert returns with soul and R&B group From All To Human and synth-pop trio May05, both known for selling out previous shows. Their combined winter setlist brings a modern, emotional sound to the season, with a post-concert photo event prepared for the audience.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day feature Gift, a holiday concert that blends classical, jazz, film music, and traditional carols. The program includes an eight-cello ensemble performing selections like “Another Day of Sun” and “Por Una Cabeza,” a clarinet jazz quartet with seasonal favorites, and a seven-piece ensemble presenting Ghibli soundtracks and well-known carols.
Various ticket discounts, including local resident, exam student, and family rates, are available to make the performances accessible to a wider audience.
