- 19 people with developmental disabilities work at a subsidiary of Nepes, a standard workplace for the disabled. - Four hours of individual practice and ensemble practice every day... Over 80 performances last year drew attention. - Director Kim Nam-jin: "I feel rewarded by seeing the growth and potential of the members every day."Rua Orchestra’s practice room in Naedeok-dong, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju City. / Reporter Jo Eun-sookEditor's NoteDevelopmental disabilities, particularly autism spectrum disorder, show significant delays in social communication from early childhood. These individuals often exhibit restricted and repetitive behaviors or intense focus on limited interests. Lifelong socialization education is essential.In the past, people with developmental disabilities were often confined to homes or facilities. Today, early diagnosis and social education are helping many achieve independence.We visited Rua Orchestra (Artistic Director Kim Nam-jin), which supports the socialization of individuals with developmental disabilities through music. Rua Orchestra Inauguration CeremonyEvery morning, the sound of practice fills a building in Naedeok-dong, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju. Rua Orchestra is the first orchestra in North Chungcheong Province composed of individuals with developmental disabilities. Members range in age from early 20s to late 30s.They are employees of Nepes Rua Co., Ltd., a subsidiary-type standard workplace for the disabled under Nepes, a semiconductor company. Nepes founded Rua Orchestra to train individuals with disabilities as members of society and support their independence. With guaranteed retirement, members practice daily from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., including personal and sectional practice, and ensemble sessions with Artistic Director Kim Nam-jin.“Rua” means “to shout with joy.” The orchestra began with eight members in May 2022 and officially launched with 25 members on November 3 of the same year. Currently, 19 members are active, supported by Director Kim and 11 instructors. The ensemble includes one percussionist and 18 string players (violin, cello, contrabass), and performances often incorporate piano, dance, and vocals. 2nd Regular Concert at Yonsei University Centennial Hall, SeoulCreating Something from NothingNepes, headquartered in Cheongju, recruited members primarily from the province. Few local individuals with disabilities had musical training, so selection focused more on willingness than skill. Except for two or three, most members learned their instruments through the orchestra. Director Kim and instructors taught everything from reading sheet music to bowing techniques, eventually producing harmonious sounds.Director Kim said, “The only difference is that our members learn more slowly and need more practice. Watching them improve and harmonize brings me joy and fulfillment.”Rua Orchestra performed over 80 times last year, averaging one performance per week. They won the grand prize at the 2023 National Developmental Disability Music Festival and held their first paid concert at Yonsei University’s Centennial Hall.Rua Orchestra Practice SceneInside the Practice RoomDuring ensemble sessions, Director Kim leads with warmth and patience, explaining everything at the members’ level.Once practice begins, the previously distracted members focus intently. Director Kim, though gentle, conducts with precision.He shared, “At first, I just hoped they could sit for 30 minutes. Now, they understand how to play and behave just by watching my gestures and expressions. Beyond musical ensemble, we teach the harmony of living as musicians.”Rua members consistently practice with joy and enthusiasm. They look forward to each morning in the practice room, tuning instruments and engaging in conversation without being prompted. Since joining the orchestra, they’ve gradually changed—those who once exhibited impulsive behaviors have improved, and frequent stage appearances have led them to care more about their appearance and hygiene.Rua Orchestra Inaugural PerformanceRua’s DreamRua Orchestra plays life’s score brightly and cheerfully, sometimes deeply and resonantly. Through music, members share joy and fill their lives with shining moments, realizing dreams of independence and a life without barriers.Director Kim said, “We want to move audiences with our harmony and deliver messages that improve awareness of disabilities. We’re preparing to share Rua’s unique stories and music with broader stages and the world.”Rua Orchestra will hold its regular concert at Cheongju Art Hall on October 24.Source: 루아오케스트라, 인생 악보 빛 그리다 < 사회 < 기사본문 - 충청리뷰
