Conductor Jang Han-na has been appointed president of the Seoul Arts Center.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on the 6th that it will appoint conductor Jang Han-na as president of the Seoul Arts Center. It is the first appointment of a musician-turned-female president since the establishment of the Seoul Arts Center in 1987.

"Conductor Jang Han-na combines deep understanding and insight into the performing arts based on her abundant field experience and leadership accumulated over 32 years as a world-class performer and conductor, and her network of exchanges with world-class music organizations and musicians," Minister Choi said. "We expect conductor Jang Han-na to present a new artistic vision of the Seoul Arts Center, the representative platform for basic arts in Korea, and lead to a leap forward."

Meanwhile, Jang Han-na, the new president, is a musician who has gained worldwide fame as a cello player and conductor. He made his world debut at the age of 11 in 1994 when he won the Grand Prix at the 5th Rostropovich International Cello Competition. He then contributed to enhancing the status of Korean classical music by collaborating with world-class orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, and the London Symphony.
