Choi Hee-seon, the guitarist and leader of Cho Yong-pil and The Great Birth, will hold 'Choi Hee-seon's Midsummer Night Concert' at 7:30 p.m. on July 25 at the outdoor music hall in Bukcheon Citizens Park, Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

This free performance is part of the second day of the 'Midsummer Night Festival,' which has been held for three days annually in Sangju. Launched in 2014 within the festival that marks its 25th year this time, it has continued every year except during the COVID-19 period and is now in its 12th year.

For this year's performance, Choi Hee-seon will be joined on stage by bassist Park Tae-jin of Love & Peace, Jo Ju-cheon and Son Ho-jeong from Keybrothers, and drummer Kim Dong-hyeok, a current student at Seoul National University of Arts. Yoon Hang-gi, Kim Jeong-su, and Sim Shin will participate as guests.

The concert will feature Choi Hee-seon's guitar performances from his all-instrumental album, a stage reinterpreting rock numbers in Choi Hee-seon's style, and guest performances. Yoon Hang-gi is a senior from the first generation of band music who helped shape Choi Hee-seon's musical direction, while Kim Jeong-su, who sang 'You,' is a former member of Cho Yong-pil and The Great Birth. Sim Shin has maintained a connection with Choi Hee-seon since their days of band music activities in the 1980s as a junior artist.

Organized by Sangju Arts Council and hosted by Sangju Central Lions, the 'Midsummer Night Festival' consists of 'A Night with Youth' on the first day, Choi Hee-seon's performance on the second day, and a citizens' singing contest on the final day. Through 'Youth Day,' Choi Hee-seon annually donates musical instruments to help young people nurture their dreams in music.

Choi Hee-seon stated, "I am preparing to provide cool rock sounds and band music that will wash away the summer heat for Sangju citizens who have few opportunities to enjoy live performances across various genres."
