Barakatt, whose songs have long been loved in Korea and featured in films, commercials and on KTX train announcements, showcased the concert in celebration of 20 years of friendship with Korean fans on March 8 at the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall.

The performance consisted of “Ad Vitam Aeternam,” his classical symphony based on the 16 stages of the human experience, and a symphonic medley version of the musician’s biggest worldwide hits, “The Whistler’s Song,” “Day by Day,” “Dreamers” and “Flying.”

TV Art Stage will air at 1:40 a.m. on March 17.
