Dear sir or madam,
I am writing to you in support of the “popera”
Rain, a new musical and theatrical production in
support of peace. I am Yangwoo Park, Director of
the Korean Cultural service in New York, part of
the Korean Consulate General in New York.
There is already great interest in Korea
in this popera. Major media companies like the Korean
Broadcasting System (KBS), FM Seoul and the Korea
Times have already signed on and are marketing the
production. The Korean government, too, is lending
its support.
Here is New York City, the production of
rain is the result of an intense collaboration between
international musicians. Composed by Hye Kyung Park,
a Korean graduate of New York University, the popera
will b produced by Thomas cultice, an opera singer
and voice professor from Mannes College of music.
Ted Taylor of the New York City Opera will conduct
an orchestra made up of students from Mannes, the
Manhattan School, and the Julliard School of m.
Oh-Hyuk Im, a graduate student at Mannes, wrote
the popera and will act as the manager for its performances.
So, as you can see, the two performances
scheduled at the Kaye Playhouse in Manhattan will
be the result of a great cooperation between individuals
of different backgrounds, all of whom believe in
the popera’s message of peace.
At this time of international uncertainty, it is
important to support efforts like this, which seek
to promote an alternative message to war. I hope
that your organization, like mine, will be able
to lend its support to this worthy and valuable
project. Sincerely,
Yangwoo
Park

The
Korean American Catholic Young Adult Movement
To Whom It May Concern
I am writing this letter to recommend this new
event called the Popera “Rain”.
My name is Ken Bae and I am a founder of The Korean
American Catholic Young Adult Movement called
DuRe. I took great interest in writing this letter
to you because I, myself work very closely with
the youths in our communities. Since the Popera
“Rain” has been brought together by
those who believe in unity and peace amongst the
nations and the young people of our generation,
I wanted to take part in this great opportunity
to reach out to those who may gain more knowledge
and support from events such as this.
With that said, I support the Popera “Rain”
with great interest and I wish all the best to
everyone who are committed to this event with
such passion as they are being fulfilled one step
at a time, starting with this one.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ken

To Whom It May Concern
Movement In Motion is a network or artist &
activist that organize throughout the New York area.
Since our existence on November 2002 we have organized
two national tours and one international tour to
India. We are a collective of dedicated individuals
that have been successfully organizing within our
communities and else where. Our mission is to use
arts as a means to bring about social awareness
and change.
We have reviewed the Pop Opera project entitled
“Rain” and believe it to fit within
our vision. This project is designed to promote
peace and to bring awareness through performance
that will capture and captive an audience of various
ethnic backgrounds.
In short Movement In Motion endorses and fully
supports the “RAIN” Pop Opera project
and recommends that other organizations in the
peace justice movement do the same.
