The group visited museums and markets and immersed themselves in Korean culture through music, food, and performance. The trip concluded with a shared concert at Gabin Art Hall featuring the Seongbuk Youth Disabilities Orchestra and the Choate Rosemary Hall Orchestra, bringing a meaningful week of cultural exchange and music to a close.
