Korean University Choir Receives Award

Seoul, Korea. [ANN/APD] The Korean Sahmyook 
University choir joined with the Ministry of 
Education of the government of Korea in presenting the 
1999 New Year Music Concert at the lobby of the 
Government Sechongo buildings in Seoul on January 18. 
More than 600 government workers and community members 
attended the event sponsored by the Ministry of 
Government Administration and Home Affairs.

"Although Korea is still under the IMF situation and 
struggling against financial difficulty, these 
students raised their voices with happiness and joy 
with great expectations for the new year," said 
Tadaomi Shinmyo, communication director for the 
Seventh-day Adventist Church in Korea. 

The Korean Sahmyook University choir was asked to 
present the program after receiving the first place 
award during the 22nd National University Music 
Contest held on November 12, 1998.  It is the second 
consecutive year that the university choir has 
received this award.  The university has approximately 
2,800 students. [99/03/05]
