DAC Plus Stage
DAC Plus Stage - The Traveling Performance
The Traveling Performance is a program that the Daegu City Arts Group has operated for many years. It challenges the idea that a “proper” experience of culture and the arts can be had only in a concert hall, giving performances at schools, hospitals, welfare facilities, and anywhere citizens’ access to cultural pursuits is limited. This program promotes the Daegu City Arts Group while enabling a higher quality of life through music.
