Christmas / Classical Music Preformance?

Hi Guys,

I am looking for a place that has live Christmas music or classical music on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Anybody know where there might be some? I am ok to travel outside Busan to Daegu or Changwon. Anywhere? Concert or a nice local venue would be great.

If not, then do you know of anywhere that has classical music on January 4th? Same deal, just different day, and I am sure that  Christmas music will be over with.

Thanks much!

Oh, and on the 21st they are doing a whole bunch of Christmas songs and carols for the first half, followed by Beethoven's 9th symphony 4th movement (Ode to Joy) in the second half. Again sounds like fun.

I remember those little angel voices touched me so in winter nights.  Les Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois are performing Christmas Carols and related music, this year at the Gyeongsang Namdo Culture and Arts Center in Jinju on 12/17/2010 by 7PM.  Their link should be somewhere here and there http://gncac.com/Home/PerfInfo/PerfDetailInfo.aspx?IdPerf=359 with the direction http://gncac.com/Home/Intro/RoadInfo.aspx if you have a ride from the last stop of the Express Bus Station to tell your driver to go to see their amazing voices.  Touchée!
