The NAC Orchestra’s debut in Korea. Alongside Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son, our musicians will perform works by Ravel, Richard Strauss, and Beethoven and engage local artistic communities through masterclasses, performances, and workshops. Together, these programs will showcase the vitality of Canadian culture while shining light on the Orchestra’s history of inspiring artistry and musical storytelling.

The Orchestra’s concert in Seoul on May 31 is a signature event at the closing of the Korea-Canada Year of Cultural Exchanges.
