| Description | The Australian Embassy is holding the “Meet Australia at Ewha” festival in May at Ewha Womans University, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Australia. The festival includes exhibitions by Australian artists, performances and poetry readings.
Celebrated Australian musicians will participate in a special concert, "This is Australia", at 7pm on May 24 at the Samsung Hall in ECC. Didgeridoo maestro William Barton will showcase the unique characteristics of the Aboriginal musical instrument. Barton will be accompanied by Suade, an A Capella group ready to impress the audience with beautiful harmonies. The group came into the spotlight after singing Korean pop songs such as "Magic Castle" and "Nobody" in Korean at a concert in Korea in January. "When it comes to Australia, Korean people often think of visible images such as a vast continent, the Opera House, koalas and kangaroos," said Ambassador Sam Gerovich. "The event 'Meet Australia at Ewha' will be a good opportunity for people in their 20s to experience and understand the diversity of Australian culture." |
