Letter from violinist Jueun KIM
Violin Jueun KIM- The Legend of Labyrinth
Hello, Everyone! I'm violinist Jueun Kim
I am grateful for the opportunity to share my thoughts on the climate crisis through this album. Growing up, I naturally developed an interest in environmental protection, influenced by my father, who has worked in marine environmental fields. This album is more than just a collection of music—it carries my heartfelt message, expressed through art, to raise awareness about the seriousness of the climate crisis and inspire social change.
Classical music has the power to reflect on the past, live in the present, and inspire dreams of a better future. Through this music, I hope to convey the emotional depth that laws and policies alone cannot reach and offer a moment for us to reflect on what we can do together in response to the climate crisis. I believe this album will resonate with you, building a sense of shared empathy. Though it may be a small beginning, I hope we can take steps together toward a sustainable and harmonious future.
This project is made up of reimagined pieces inspired by the main melodies from the opera *Callea Butalso*, which focuses on themes of the ocean and the future. The opera’s libretto was written by Jaecheong Kim, the music composed by Jieun Lee, and it features performances from the principal soloists of the original production. The music brings to life scenes such as the footprints of penguins crossing polar regions, the roaring storms and waves of the Pacific Ocean, and the escape of marine creatures untouched by human hands. Through these melodies, the painful reality of the ocean unfolds, inviting us to deeply consider how we can coexist with nature.
Within the melodies of this album, you will hear the ocean’s whispers of suffering and its quiet hope. I sincerely hope this music touches your heart and offers new perspectives and meaning. May it connect us all and spark small changes toward a better future. I would love to hear your thoughts and reflections as you experience it.
Thank you so much. Oct, 20. 2024

violinist Jueyn KIM’s word
As an artist, I have long reflected on environmental issues, consistently feeling the weight of the climate crisis. With the influence of my father, who has been deeply involved in marine environmental work, I naturally developed a passion for environmental conservation. Through this album, I hope to convey the urgency of the climate crisis through the artistic language of music and inspire social change. Classical music transcends time, allowing us to reflect on the past, live in the present, and dream of a better future. This album is my modest contribution toward that future, carrying a message of change, empathy, and reflection.
Moreover, I wanted to reinterpret environmental issues from a fresh perspective, delivering an emotional resonance that laws and policies alone cannot achieve. By expressing the plight of our oceans through music, I hope to create an opportunity for us to reflect on what we can do to address the crisis. I believe that melodies can reach the deepest parts of our souls, fostering a stronger sense of empathy. Through this, I hope to take small steps together toward a more sustainable and harmonious future.

● Introduction to music
The main melodies of the opera Kalea Butalsoro (libretto by Kim Jaechung, music by Lee Jieun), which is based on the theme of the future and the sea, have been recreated to fit the album's theme consciousness. The creators of the opera and the original soloists who have performed the opera want to convey the theme of "our oceans are dying" through music. The footprints of penguins crossing the polar regions, the Pacific Ocean crying with the gestures of waves and typhoons, the whispers of pain from the sea, and the legend of the escape of creatures living in places beyond the reach of human eyes amid pollution and encroachment were wanted to be conveyed through music.

Initiative by classical music artists to respond to the climate crisis
Producers Jaechung KIM, Jieun LEE
The classical Music are not overrun by contemporary art, where time differences are meaningless. It does not define progress in the name of novelty, thus acknowledging its own obsolescence. The infinite transience that oxidises at the fingertips of the performer on the stage becomes eternal, so that moments and ephemera become rather eternal in memory and emotion. Classical music is not music that is consumed intensely and therefore quickly forgotten; it is an art of self-consciousness that summons the past into the present and is fully dedicated to the future of humanity and life. In the process of creating contemporary classical music, and in every moment of its performance, the question of art and humanity is posed, and the answer is always in the process of being found.
In this way, classical music conveys a sense of cyclical unity, where questions become answers and the process becomes a question. If music is a vast ocean, then the artist is like an organism in the ocean, giving meaning and fulfilling a function. The process of creating and performing classical music has no substance and no need for substance, which makes it less contentious and more about expressing a strong sense of consciousness. Music is an art of sound waves and that's how it communicates to the individual creatures in the ocean. We are all musical beings, creatures that inhabit a musical contemplation. The waves of music cause all living things to revisit questions and answers, and the sense of oneness expands endlessly as consciousness, so classical music is naturally eternal. The expanded consciousness further expands the scope of art, multiplying itself through questions, and its influence continues the process of reproduction, expansion and circulation without rumour, without infringement. The time and order of the ecosystem is actually deeply embedded in the structure of the classics. However, it is not the essence of modern classical music to capture the conditions of the times and actively embrace the environment of the times. On the contrary, classical music is the essence of time. It is an eloquent, careful and highly sensitive response to the conditions of our time, expanding artistic consciousness through a process of questioning and answering. Our oceans are dying. Through the cyclical wave of classical music, all the artists on this album are activists. Sea creatures who continue their secret escapades in a polluted environment and, like butterflies in a submarine, have nowhere to go. May the legend of the labyrinth live on, untaxidised. Through the unifying wave of classical music, we call upon all to join us. Join us now, as best you can.
Listen to the whisper of the sea.
Our oceans are dying.
