World-renowned violinist Pinchas Zukerman will return to the Korean stage after about eight years.
KG Philharmonic Orchestra said it will present “KG Philharmonic Orchestra with Pinchas Zukerman — Masterpiece Series ‘Beethoven’” on May 31 at the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall. Ticket sales begin April 2 with advance sales for paid Seoul Arts Center members, followed by general sales on April 3.
The one-day concert pairs Zukerman with the KG Philharmonic (KG Philharmonic), a young orchestra that has been drawing attention as an emerging ensemble.
The program launches KG Philharmonic’s first Masterpiece Series and features major works by Ludwig van Beethoven. In the first half, Zukerman will perform Beethoven’s only violin concerto, the Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61. In the second half, the orchestra will play Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92.
Zukerman said of the collaboration, “Playing with an orchestra made up of young musicians is always my pleasure.”
KG Philharmonic was founded in 2025 by the Kwak Jaesun Cultural Foundation, based on KG Group’s sustainability management philosophy. The orchestra is made up of young performers who graduated from leading music universities in Korea and abroad, and it has been building its profile quickly.
A foundation official said, “The depth of a master and the drive of a young orchestra will come together to deliver an unforgettable experience for audiences.”
Tickets range from 40,000 won to 150,000 won and are available through the Seoul Arts Center website and NOL Interpark.
