Seoul is celebrating the new year with a variety of cultural events around the city.

On Jan. 1 the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra performed a New Year's Concert at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, while last Saturday the Seoul Metropolitan Youth Orchestra held a "Winter Classics" concert at the same venue.

This Saturday and Sunday a concert performed by famous Korean traditional and classical music artists will be held at the Dream Forest Art Center.

Seoul Namsan Gugakdang music hall's first production of the year will be "The Farting Lady," a musical play produced jointly by the Sejong Center, Sadari Theater Company, and Moby Duck Theatre Company from the U.K.

Based on a Korean traditional fairy tale, the musical features traditional mask dances and outdoor performances, mimes and puppet shows. It opens for a month-long run on Jan. 28.
