Welcome
“The
Korean Cultural Center (a.k.a. KCC), was founded in 2003 under a
forceful mis-sion: to promote Korean culture in the United States
through education and per-forming arts. The KCC, will continue to
promote Korean culture and provide a welcoming place where all cultures
and all people can come together in the joy of Korean traditional music
and dance. We hope that our heritage will continuously spread throughout
the country so that all people will be able to experience Korean
culture. Until then, we are here to offer the best performances by
mutually sup-porting and inter-acting with the lo-cal communities.”
