ACF 928: Dokdo Concert at Korean Cultural Service on March 21st, 2010 at 7:00 PM
The Korean Cultural Service NY will host the Dokdo Racer project group for their New York City concert titled “Dokdo Concert.” This Korean traditional music group is made up of six Korean university students traveling around the world to promote understanding and rights to the disputed Dokdo Islands currently claimed by both South Korea and Japan.
They continue to spread this message through cultural music events and by holding seminars throughout the world. From February 25th – August 15th, they have plans to take their concert to Peru, Argentina, France, Belgium, China and over to Iran. Their tour will take them across four continents to continue to spread world peace and the fact that the islands of Dokdo are indeed part of South Korea. On March 4th, they were welcomed at Stanford University and this event being held at the Korean Cultural Service will feature the same content presented on that night.
The concert night will be held at the gallery space within the Korean Cultural Service located at 460 Park Ave (north-west corner at East 57th Street), 6th Floor, on March 21st at 7:00 PM. This event will feature performances of Korean traditional music and an open seminar session will follow the performance.
This event is open to the public and reservation is not required. Seating is limited to 100 persons.

The Korean Cultural Service NY will not be able to host the Dokdo Concert on March 21, 2011 at 7PM performed by Dokdo Racer due to issues concerning the current crises in Japan. We stand with the international community in wishing for the safety and well-being of its citizens.
