the stage was Parapill\u00e9k, which delighted the audience with performances including Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s \u201cHumoresque No. 7.\u201d They were followed by the Paraf\u00f3nia Orchestra (Paraf\u00f3nia Zenekar), which presented both the second movement of Vivaldi\u2019s Winter and the first movement of Autumn, as well as Johann Strauss\u2019s \u201cRadetzky March,\u201d blending elegance with lively energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">The final performance was given by the Vivace Ensemble, a violin and viola duo that won the Grand Prize at the 5th Great Music Festival (GMF). They began their set with \u201cSarabande,\u201d a piece by Georg Friedrich Handel arranged by Norwegian composer Johan Halvorsen. The ensemble then performed pieces by Hungarian composer B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k, specially prepared as a tribute to the Hungarian performers and audience. Finally, they presented the Korean folk song \u201cArirang\u201d together with the Hungarian folk song \u201cTavaszi Sz\u00e9l Vizet \u00c1raszt\u201d (\u201cSpring Wind Brings the Water\u201d), which embodies the soul and culture of Hungary, earning warm applause and cheers from the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">The moment the first note filled the concert hall, every boundary seemed to fade away. The divisions between performers and audience, between people with and without disabilities, and between nations and languages all disappeared. The music that began at the musicians\u2019 fingertips spread through the hall, and the audience responded with warm smiles and heartfelt applause. There were no special people or ordinary people. In that open space, only music remained. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">The event was attended by around 200 participants, including executives from SK On Europe, officials from the Ministry of Interior of Hungary, representatives from the Hungarian Association for Music for the Intellectually Disabled (A Zene Mindenki\u00e9 Egyes\u00fclet) and the Hungarian Battery Association, as well as faculty members from E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, one of Hungary\u2019s most prestigious universities. Also present were officials from the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Hungary, the Korean Cultural Center in Hungary, and the Korea Trade\u2013Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), along with local residents from the Budapest community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">First launched by SK Innovation in 2017, GMF has grown into South Korea\u2019s largest music festival for musicians with developmental disabilities. It began with the hope that musical performance could enhance social and interpersonal skills for people with developmental disabilities through sensory stimulation. What started as a program focused on care and therapy has since evolved into a journey of self-discovery, helping participants recognize their own dreams and talents while pursuing independence through challenge and achievement. Since its inception, GMF has welcomed 290 teams and more than 3,000 musicians to its stage. Through music, they have learned to express themselves and connect with the wider world. For many, it may have been a precious moment when their dreams came to life.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123765\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123765\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124062\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/\ubcf8\ubb382\ubd84\ud56002.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"550\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-123765\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u25b2 A local ensemble of musicians with developmental disabilities performs at the 1st GMF in Hungary, held in 2024 at the Korean Cultural Center in Hungary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">This year, GMF once again crossed borders and reached out to the world through music. In 2023, GMF in USA got underway in Atlanta, Georgia, and the following year the festival returned to Budapest for the second time, where SK On Europe is based. Through this event, GMF hoped to inspire the Hungarian community and to share the joy of a world where music removes boundaries and brings people together in harmony.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-124052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/\ubcf8\ubb38\uc778\ud130\ubdf001_ENG.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-124052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/\ubcf8\ubb38\uc778\ud130\ubdf002_ENG.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">SK Innovation and SK On have continued their efforts to support the growth of musicians with developmental disabilities in Hungary. In 2023, the companies donated HUF 5 million (KRW 21.4 million) to the \u201cHungarian Music Association for the Developmentally Disabled,\u201d and this year they provided an additional HUF 4.8 million (KRW 20.5 million). These contributions will help fund the purchase of instruments, music lessons, and the expansion of rehearsal spaces for local musicians with developmental disabilities. They also serve as a strong foundation that enables these musicians to nurture their dreams and express their music more freely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-124052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/\ubcf8\ubb38\uc778\ud130\ubdf003_ENG.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-124052 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/\ubcf8\ubb38\uc778\ud130\ubdf004_ENG.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">In a congratulatory video message delivered that day, Kaderj\u00e1k P\u00e9ter, President of the Hungarian Battery Association (HUBA), said, \u201cI would like to thank SK On for organizing such a meaningful event that brings together people with developmental disabilities in Hungary. I hope SK On will continue to play a leading role in promoting the sustainable and healthy development of Hungary\u2019s economy, society, and battery industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">Kim Se-jin, Head of SK On Hungary, said, \u201cIt was a meaningful occasion where we came together through music, transcending borders and language differences. We will continue our efforts to foster closer ties between Korea and Hungary\u2014not only in economic cooperation but also through heartfelt communication.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">The true meaning of GMF lies not in viewing people with developmental disabilities merely as recipients of \u201ccare,\u201d but in helping them grow into full and independent members of society. Some go on to study at art universities, others perform with orchestras, and some even take the stage on concert tours around the world. They once walked alongside others for support, but now they walk into the world shining with their own light. They say they hope their music can give strength to someone, somewhere, who may be struggling. That pure and beautiful wish becomes the heart of their melodies, and anyone who listens can feel it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">SK Innovation will continue to support the movement to break down boundaries through music, so that this beautiful change can reach farther and touch more hearts. As the saying goes, \u201cLeave out preconception, and let music flow in your heart,\u201d the company remains committed to connecting people and making the world a warmer place through the power of music. The journey of SK Innovation and GMF continues \u2014 today, and in the years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 1340px; border: 2px solid #d5d5d5; padding: 5px 0px; line-height: 26px; font-size: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0px 10px;\">\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'pretendard', sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;\"><strong>\u25a0 Related articles<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: 'pretendard', sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/global\/archives\/18268\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8211; The Great Music Festival in Hungary: \u201cBreaking boundaries and discovering new abilities through music\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 6:00 p.m. on November 8 (local time), the Aranyt\u00edz Cultural Centre in Budapest was filled with gentle, harmonious music that resonated through every corner of the hall.
