For many Koreans, the harmonica evokes nostalgia, linking them to their childhood memories in Korea. After years of immigration and hard work, Donna Lee, now 80, found joy again through a harmonica class at the Koreatown Senior Community Center in Los Angeles. The class, which practices the national anthem, received an incredible opportunity to perform at a Los Angeles Kings game, marking a significant cultural moment that united Korean Americans and mainstream audiences alike.

As they donned traditional hanbok during their performance, the group went viral, not only enhancing their visibility in the hockey community but also bridging cultural gaps. With a growing number of classes and community involvement, the center has become a vital space for older generations to connect and share their heritage through music, showcasing their talent on a larger stage and celebrating Korean culture with pride.
