Daejeon Arts Center will bring science stories together with chamber music at its 'Laboratory Concert for Primary School Children'. The official performance detail schedules it for Tuesday, December 22, 2026, at 19:30 in Ensemble Hall, with a running time of approximately 60 minutes and no intermission. Standard tickets cost KRW 20,000. Admission is for primary-school age and above; the venue explicitly identifies those born in 2019 or earlier. Families should verify this age rule instead of assuming younger siblings may attend.
The concert's guiding question is 'Can animals keep a rhythm?' Its programme introduces musical images of lions, hens, tortoises, elephants, kangaroos, aquariums and swans, drawing on the famous musical animal portraits associated with Saint-Saëns. The approach is to explore rhythm and animal behaviour through live music and explanations rather than to offer a conventional recital alone. The listed contributors include concert guide and trumpeter Na Woong-jun, music-neuroscience scholar Lee Kyung-myeon, pianist Noh Hyun-jin, the Risus Quartet and additional wind and percussion players.
The venue is the smaller Ensemble Hall, not the main Art Hall, at 135 Dunsan-daero, Seo-gu, Daejeon. The official detail provides a booking link and the NOL Ticket enquiry line, 1544-1556. Confirm remaining seats, ticket-collection arrangements and cancellation conditions with the sales provider before paying.
Discounts must not be confused with the standard fee. The official guide lists a 50% reduction for schoolchildren and teenagers on their own tickets, and other eligibility-based concessions for seniors and certain disability or national-merit categories. The actual attendee usually needs original identity or eligibility documentation at collection, and discounts cannot be combined. An accompanying adult is not automatically eligible for a child's discount. The concert programme is subject to change.
