• [Culture] Colorado Ballet, Cinderella "Dance of Happiness"

  (Denver = Wongeol Jeong) It was a warm evening in early spring. On the gentle breeze, the scent of spring rode in. Following the warm wind, spring came to my heart as well. The Colorado Ballet performed "Cinderella." Ellie Caulkins Opera House was bustling with many people. I was able to truly experience the reputation of the Colorado Ballet. The performance began with Cinderella, her stepmother, and two stepsisters. The Colorado Ballet portrayed this scene comically. It was very different from the sad feeling I had when reading the fairy tale book. Whenever Cinderella's stepsisters appeared, the audience burst into laughter. The plot of the performance was not much different from the fairy tale "Cinderella." The only difference was that the two stepsisters were portrayed in a very comical way. Dana Benton and Yosvani Ramos' acting and dance skills stood out in this performance. The ballerina and ballerino were depicting "Cinderella" on stage with all their might. Especially the scene where the prince and Cinderella dance together at the end was amazing. The beautiful and graceful dance, like two swans, made the audience involuntarily marvel. The happiness of Cinderella and the prince flowed to the audience. And... Spring was coming. This ballet, composed by Sergei Prokofiev, was choreographed by Ben Stevenson. Colorado Ballet's Cinderella is scheduled to be performed at Ellie Caulkins Opera House until the 19th.

• [Colorado Symphony] The last night in Vienna

  (Denver = Wongeol Jeong) The Colorado Symphony decorated the last day of 2021 with 'A night in Vienna'. The streets were covered in white snow. Yes, it was snow. I started the car and went out into the street. Since it was the last day of 2021, which was both boring and eventful, I thought that it wouldn't matter if it was this cold. Indeed, it was one or two years of the 2000s, both boring and eventful. The concert hall was filled with warmth. In a world full of snow, when I opened the door of the concert hall, I felt like I had entered a different world. ‘Why a night in Vienna?’ I suddenly had a question. A few waltzes and the familiar 'The Blue Danube' caught my eye in the unfolding program. It was a bit questionable that the Austrian waltz was chosen as the last song to spend in 2021, but what about it? In the world, things have their own reasons. With the position of the conductor Dragon, the last melody of 2021 enveloped the concert hall. Austria's royal palace, kings, nobles, and knights were dancing to a grand and delicate melody. The king's music was shaking the last air of 2021. The different sounds of strings and brass instruments were mixed in one space. And numerous golden threads were scattered in the air. In the night sky of 2021, which is not far away, white snow was still pouring. yes, it is snow

• [Colorado Symphony] 비엔나에서의 마지막 밤

  (Denver = Wongeol Jeong) 콜로라도 심포니가 2021년의 마지막 날을 ‘A night in Vienna'로 장식했다. 하루종일 집 안에만 있다가, 나선 거리는, 온통 흰 눈으로 덮여있었다. 그렇다, 눈이었다. 차의 시동을 걸고, 거리로 나섰다. 지루하고도 다사다난했던 2021년의 마지막 날이니, 이정도 추위쯤은 상관없다,는 생각이 들었다. 정말이지, 지루하고도, 다사다난했던, 2000년대의 한 두 해였다. 콘서트 홀은 온기로 가득 차 있었다. 온통 눈 뿐인 세계에서, 콘서트 홀의 문을 열고 들어서니, 다른 차원의 세계로 들어온 느낌이었다. ‘왜 비엔나의 밤인가?’ 갑자기 의문이 들었다. 펼쳐든 프로그램에는 왈츠 몇 곡과 귀에 익은 ‘푸른 도나우’가 눈에 들어왔다. 2021년을 보내는 마지막 곡으로, 오스트리아의 왈츠를 선택했다는 게 조금 의문이었지만, 하지만, 뭐 어떤가. 세상 일에는, 나름의 이유가 있는 것이다. 지휘자 드래곤의 입장과 함께, 2021년의 마지막 선율이 연주회장을 감싸고 있었다. 오스트리아의 왕궁과 왕과 귀족들, 그리고 기사들이 웅장하고도 섬세한 선율에 맞춰 춤추고 있었다. 왕의 음악이, 2021년의 마지막 공기를 뒤흔들고 있었다. 현악기와 금관악기의 서로 다른 울림이, 한 공간에서 뒤섞이고 있었다. 그리고 수많은 금빛 실오라기들이 허공에 흩어지고 있었다. 얼마 남지 않은 2021년의 밤 하늘에서는, 여전히 하얀 눈이 쏟아지고 있었다. 그렇다, 눈이다.

• [Music][Music] Colorado Symphony's performance of Brahms' Requiem offers comfort and peace

  (Denver = Wongeol Jeong) On the 24th, the Colorado Symphony performed Brahms' Requiem at the Denver Boettcher Concert Hall. At this concert, the Colorado Symphony was accompanied by soprano Karina Gauvin and baritone Joshua Hopkins. Brahms' characteristic gentle melodies enveloped the concert hall. The Requiem, which means "comfort for the dead," consists of seven movements: "Blessed Are They That Mourn," "All Flesh Is As Grass," "Lord, Make Me to Know Mine End," "How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place," "Ye Now Are Sorrowful," "Here on Earth We Have No Continuing Place," and "Blessed Are the Dead Which Die in the Lord." The first movement, which begins with an orchestration without violins, expresses the agony of death. Then, through the harp performance in the middle, it finally conveys "comfort." Songs based on the Bible, such as the Psalms, mainly make listeners feel the "warmth of God" and offset the fear of death with the peace of God. Brahms was expressing the "grace of God" as a way to counter the potentially frightening concept of death. The Colorado Symphony's performance will continue until Sunday, the 26th, at the Boettcher Concert Hall.

  (Denver = Wongeol Jeong) 지난 24일, Denver Boettcher Concert Hall에서 Colorado Symphony가 Brahms의 Requiem 연주회를 가졌다. 이번 연주회에서 Colorado Symphony는 소프라노 Karina Gauvin과 바리톤 Joshua Hopkins와 함께했다. Brahms 특유의 부드러운 선율이 Concert hall을 감싸고 있었다. '죽은 자를 위한 위로'인 브람스의 Requiem은, '애통하 자는 복이 있나니', '모든 육체는 풀과 같고', '여호와여 나의 종말과 연한의 어떠함을 알게하소서', '여호와여 당신의 장막이 어찌 그리 사랑스러운지요', '지금은 너희가 근심하나', '이 지상에는 영원한 도성은 없고', '주님 품 안에서 죽은 자는 복되도다'의 총 7악장으로 구성돼 있다. 바이올린이 없는 관현악으로 시작하는 1악장은, 죽음의 애통함을 표현하고 있었다. 그러다가 중반부의 하프 연주를 통해 비로소 '위로'를 전하고 있었다. 시편 등, 성경을 테마로 한 곡들은, 주로 '신의 따스함'을 느끼게 하고 있었다. 죽음의 공포를, 신의 평화로 상쇄시키고 있었다. 공포스러울 수 있는 '죽음'을 '신의 은혜'로 Brahms는 표현하고 있었다. Colorado Symphony의 이번 공연은 26일, 일요일 까지 Boettcher Concert Hall에서 열린다.

• [Culture] Colorado Symphony, 'Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto'

  (Denver = Wongeol Jeong) It was Sunday at noon. The wind was blowing fiercely. Although it was a warm day, the wind made it feel colder. I walked in the direction where the sun was shining. It was a day like one in Beethoven's life. His spirit always shone bright, but in reality, he was a harsh man. It seemed like he lived within his shining spirit. The opening of the concerto is marked by a striking and majestic orchestral introduction, which leads into the piano's first entrance. The soloist's virtuosic passages are a hallmark of the piece, and they are interwoven with more lyrical and reflective moments, creating a sense of dynamic contrast that is characteristic of Beethoven's style. The concerto's second movement is a serene and contemplative adagio that provides a contrast to the first movement's energy, while the third movement features a lively and joyful rondo that showcases the soloist's virtuosity. Beethoven's Emperor Concerto, also known as his Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, is a celebrated piece of classical music that is renowned for its virtuosic piano passages and grand orchestral accompaniment. Written in 1809-1811, the piece was first performed by the composer himself in 1811 and has since become one of the most beloved and frequently performed concertos in the classical repertoire.

• [Culture] Colorado Anime Fest: Celebrating Anime, Gaming, and Japanese Culture

  (Denver = Wongeol Jeong) The Colorado Anime Fest (COAF) is an annual three-day convention held in Denver that attracts anime, gaming, and Japanese culture enthusiasts from all over the country. COAF's first event was held in February 2016 and since then, the convention has become a staple for many anime and gaming fans. The convention, held at the Denver Marriott Tech Center, provides attendees with a variety of programming options including panels, screenings, and gaming tournaments. One of the most exciting parts of the event is the opportunity to meet and interact with special guests from the anime and gaming industries. COAF also offers a marketplace where attendees can buy anime and gaming-related merchandise. One of the most recognizable aspects of COAF is its mascots, created by Ryan Zanfei of Tasty Peach Studios. The human mascot is named Sasoko, which means "mountain child" in Japanese, and was named by founding staffers after an internal vote. Sasoko is often dressed according to the convention's annual theme, and staff cosplayers portray her in both adult and chibi form throughout the event. If you manage to spot Sasoko during the convention, you might just win a prize! Attendees are encouraged to keep an eye out for her, and whoever finds her first can win a special reward. Another COAF mascot is Rocky, named after the Rocky Mountains which are an iconic part of Colorado's landscape. The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, which is Colorado's official state animal, served as the inspiration for the character. Rocky's name was chosen by COAF 2016 attendees from a long list of options, some of which were humorously provided by guest Christopher Sabat. In 2017, Tasty Peach Studios and COAF collaborated to create Rocky Meowchi, a cute limited edition variant featuring a Meowchi (a "cute mochi kitten plush" invented by Ryan) in a Rocky ram kigurumi. This adorable plush has long since sold out, but you may occasionally see Rocky Meowchi on official COAF merchandise like stickers and keychains. Whether you're a die-hard anime fan or just interested in Japanese culture, the Colorado Anime Fest is an event you won't want to miss. Keep an eye out for upcoming dates and plan your visit to experience all that COAF has to offer!
