Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra to perform in Korea for first time
Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra to take stage at National Theater of Korea on Sunday
The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra is set to perform in South Korea for the first time on Sunday at the Haeoreum Grand Theater of the National Theater of Korea, bringing an evening full of passion to Seoul.
The orchestra's first-ever performance in Korea is expected to serve as a cultural bridge and foster stronger artistic exchange and mutual understanding between the two countries.
The event is hosted by the Goyang Cultural Foundation and sponsored by the Embassy of Qatar in Seoul, with the partnership of Herald Media Group, which publish The Korea Herald.
Conductor Wilson Ng from Hong Kong and acclaimed pianist Park Jae-hong will perform Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18.
The orchestra will also perform Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" and "Slavonic Dances."
Established in 2007 with the support of the Qatar Foundation, the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra has gained recognition for weaving Arab music styles with Western classical music.
The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra has since performed at prestigious concert halls in Europe and the Middle East, including the Royal Albert Hall in London, Santa Cecilia Hall in Rome and the Katara Opera House in Doha, Qatar.
