Seoul Philharmonic Makes European Debut

The flagship orchestra of classical-music-mad South Korea has given its first concert in Europe at the Klara Festival in Brussels. Conducting was Korean-born Myung-Whun Chung, a familiar figure in Western Europe; the program included well-known scores by Ravel, Debussy and Bartók as well as a suite from Unsuk Chin’s 2007 hit opera Alice in Wonderland.
