Music in PyeongChang (MPyC;), formerly Great Mountains Music Festival & School, is one of South Korea's largest classical music festival held annually in Pyeongchang, Korea. It was launched by Professor Hyo Kang of the Juilliard School in 2004 and is currently led by its artistic director and cellist Sung-Won Yang.
The main venues for the performances are Alpensia Concert Hall and Alpensia Music Tent, both located in the Alpensia Resort in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province of Korea. Alpensia Concert Hall was built in 2010 and seats nearly 600 people, which makes it more suitable for chamber music performances. The 1300-seat Music Tent was completed in 2012. Master classes and Student Recitals are carried out in Pyeongchang Hall, located within the first floor of Alpensia Convention Center.
The festival is programmed around a different theme each year.
