The Western Music Research Institute was established in 1989. It's primary aim is to help develop Western music in Korea by researching all fields of musicology. Accordingly, the Institute holds conferences, symposiums, academic lectures, exhibitions and workshops. Educational activities and programs related to music, including training teachers and reeducating music leaders, are also actively pursued. It seeks to share the fruits of its research with the general public by holding academic-industrial cooperative research projects with social and public organizations, such as broadcast networks, the press, and educational organizations. By conducting theoretical research activities in musicology and by organizing seminars and research concerts with players and composers, the Iinstitute hopes to contribute to the development of the performing arts. By collecting and organizing research results, it plans to publish a periodical journal as well as books, and other publications.
