Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra live in San Sebastián

Experience Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra live on August 25th

The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra is scheduled to perform at the Kursaal Auditorium in San Sebastián, Spain on August 25, 2026. The orchestra, founded in 1948, has developed a reputation for a versatile repertoire encompassing both traditional orchestral works and contemporary compositions, frequently showcasing Korean composers alongside established European masters. Known for its dynamic performances and technical precision, the Seoul Philharmonic has undertaken extensive international tours and collaborations.

The Kursaal Auditorium, opened in 1999, is a prominent landmark in San Sebastián designed by Rafael Moneo. It’s celebrated for its modern architectural style – a striking combination of glass and concrete – and its exceptional acoustics. The complex comprises three main halls: the main auditorium (Auditorio), a smaller chamber hall (Sala de Cámara), and an exhibition space. The Auditorio, where the Seoul Philharmonic will perform, is specifically designed for musical performances and conferences, accommodating over 1800 people. Its construction was part of a larger urban regeneration project aimed at revitalizing the city’s eastern waterfront area and establishing San Sebastián as a significant cultural hub. The building has received numerous architectural awards recognizing its design and integration within the urban landscape.
