Yuhan Corporation is expanding cultural programs at its newly remodeled complex, Willow House, which was once its headquarters.
On September 28, Yuhan announced that Willow House will launch a variety of cultural programs to provide visitors with new experiences and entertainment.
After focusing on the space's opening and increasing its visibility this year, the company plans to enhance programs that encourage cultural experiences and repeat visits. This will include performances of classical and popular music, traditional Korean music, art exhibitions, and book concerts.
A Yuhan representative stated, "The aim is to operate as a space where visitors, including local residents, can engage with culture and the arts in their daily lives."
The first program will take place tonight at 7 PM in the Willow House Pavilion, featuring a concert titled "An Exhibition with Music." This event, co-organized by the Dongjak Music Association and Ensemble Cielo, will showcase a trio performance of piano, oboe, and bassoon.
Next month, additional performances and exhibitions are scheduled. On October 14, a brass quintet performance by the Dongjak Music Association's Brass Trio will occur, followed by a performance by Ensemble Phase on October 20. From October 28 to November 3, a commemorative exhibition celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Dongjak Art Association will be held.
A Yuhan representative added, "After a trial operation in the second half of the year, we plan to solidify our cultural programs for next year, striving to establish Willow House as a cultural hub that the community wants to visit regularly."
Willow House is a complex cultural space remodeled from Yuhan's former headquarters, which served as the company's main office and production facility for about 35 years until 1997, when it moved to its current headquarters. It is a symbolic location that reflects the legacy of Dr. Yuhan and the challenges faced by many employees, as well as the company's growth history.
