Recently, a lot of music has been expanding its musical field by forming a "crossover." Crossover music refers to music made by combining elements of a certain genre with other genres. Crossover also appears in the classical music world, which adheres to tradition compared to other music genres and is slow to change. For general audiences who majored in classical music or are not engaged in the classical music industry, it is not easy to watch classical music performances due to low accessibility due to opportunity costs. In addition, classical music has been regarded as a high-end culture and a common property only for people with high cultural capital. However, with the recent development of various media platforms and the popularization of classical music, its form is changing. Representatively, it can be said that the band ‘Hoppipolla’ and ‘Lucy’ form a crossover. These two bands are the only ones in South Korea that have cellists and violinists as members of the band. They broke many people's prejudice that guitar, bass, and drum were the basic instruments of the band. Breaking concerns that the existence of classical instruments in the band could limit the musical realm of the band, they expanded their new musical realm through lyrical melodies unique to classical instruments. Amid the global craze for idols in the K-POP market, new and fresh music using crossover is gradually growing. If classical music feels difficult and boring, why don't you listen to crossover music first? It is also good to comfort your tired mind by listening to a song that combines classical and band music.
