The two-day event was hosted by the South Korean embassy in co-operation with the Social Rehabilitation Centre of Qatar.
The concert was performed for those with special needs, orphans and the elderly from the Shafallah Centre for Children with Special Needs, Dhreimah Orphanage, Al Noor Institute for the Blind, Qatar Institution for the Welfare of the aged and Al Amal Hospital.
With a fully packed venue, the event started with a welcome speech by ambassador Chang See-jeong who introduced the musicians and asked the audience to experience a beautiful mind and feel inspired.
The concert, featuring seven talented musicians from Korea, played several classical pieces from around the world, including Korea.
There was also a short break during which a student from Al-Noor Institute entertained the spectators with a short piece on a musical instrument.
The performance continued in the second half of the concert, and the show ended with the performance of an Arabic song Ya Tayyeb al-Galb with Korean traditional musical instruments.
