The Sejong Cultural Society was formed to advance awareness and understanding of Korea's cultural heritage among people in the United States. Our emphasis is in presenting contemporary music, literature, and fine arts utilizing traditional Korean themes but expressed through western media.

The major target audience of our program is children in the United States growing up in a multicultural and multiethnic society. We aim to promote harmony among people of various ethnic backgrounds and to bridge Asian and western culture through our programs.

Music Competition - The goals of this competition are to discover talented young musicians and encourage them in their studies, and to also introduce traditional Korean music expressed through Western media.

Writing Competition - Our primary goals are to discover students talented in writing and to encourage them to write and learn about Korea and its culture.

Music Composition Competition - By encouraging composers of all nationalities and ethnicities to write pieces with traditional Korean themes for Western instruments, we hope to stimulate an interest in Korean cultural music.
