The festivity will soar with the performance of Paul Potts, a cellphone salesman-turned-musician who rose to stardom through the talent competition program “Britain’s Got Talent.” He is famous for inspiring millions of people around the world by overcoming poverty, a car accident and even a tumor to dramatically change his life in 2007.

The British Tenor will present six songs starting with the Spanish song “Granada,” followed by “O Sole Mio,” and “Parla Piu Piano,” a track from the classic 1972 movie “Godfather.” Accompanied by his longtime partner, saxophonist Andre Hwang, and the Vera String Quintet, he will mark the grand finale with a rendition of “Missing Mount Geumgang.”

Following Potts will be Insooni -- a Korean vocalist long recognized for her versatile renditions of various genres of pop music along with her wide vocal range -- who will perform six songs on stage, including “Fly Me to the Moon,” “My Dear Friend” and “Night After Night.” Insooni won the Order of Civil Merit, Magnolia Medal and became the first Korean singer to perform twice at Carnegie Hall in New York.

Registered participants and speakers at the forum will be eligible to enjoy the performance free of charge.
