One of my friends is so into going to concerts whatever music is played in it.
She normally likes British rock bands and Korean Indie bands, but today's one she suggested me to go with was a classic concert.
She told me that the player was a violinist named Laurent Korcia who mainly played cinema music and famous for playing music in 'Cinema Paradiso', 'Mission Impossible' and so on.... and it was not a common chance to see him in our country.
I had no reason to refuse going there at all. Most of all, it was free! So I accepted her suggestion.

There is a program called "EBS Space 공감(sympathy)" that invites audiences for free from monday to friday. And there are practically no restriction about artists who perform there. From domestic/foreign top artists to totally unknown new faces. You can get to know(how can I express '접하다'? It doesn't mean 'touch', 'contact', or 'adjoin'......) artists you didn't know about through this program.
According to it, its purport(/draft?) is to try to sympathize with audiences through music whatever kind of it is.
They normally give artists two days to perform there and one of which is recorded for broadcasting, but not everytime.
You can apply an admission ticket on EBS site, but it's random to be chosed.
The reason I talked about it is because it was this program where she got invited to his concert.

Anyway I looked for some information about him before going there and could see many articles about his first visit to Korea. He's French and was chosen as one of the sexiest men alive by People in 2008. (haha he was really sexy.) And in one of article he mentioned that he was impressed by violinist Hyeon Soo Shin and movie director Gi Deok Kim and added he loved Korean food so wanted to have Real Korean food here.(I'm not sure if it's true but obviously good to hear.)
So the first impression toward him was great so I looked forward to his performance.

To make a long story short, his performance was really amazing. I hardly know about classic music and instruments but you know, real great performance moves people.
I enjoyed it very pleasedly, especially when he played with an accordionist.
It was such a beautiful and outstanding performance.. I loved it!
Is there anybody who knows and likes Laurent Korcia?

+ I have a few questions about how to express these.
1 "~에 푹 빠져있다", like "그녀는 ~하는 것에 푹 빠져있다."?
2 "구미가 안 당기다", like "난 (~~하는 것이) 별로 안 땡겨~."

빠지다 means to fall into, no? I think in this situation, you might want to say mesmerized. "I was mesmerized by his performance." "I sat there totally mesmerized by the violinist."

I don't know what 당기다 means though. Maybe "[Doing ]~~ doesn't appeal to me."

Hey, thank you very much.
I don't think "to fall into" is quite fit with what I wanted to express..
But "~ doesn't appeal to me" seems right for that situation, though.
Thanks!
