Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra live in San Sebastián

Experience Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra live on August 26th

The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra is scheduled to perform at the Kursaal Auditorium in San Sebastián, Spain on August 26, 2026. The orchestra, founded in 1948, has developed a reputation for a vibrant and versatile repertoire encompassing both standard orchestral works and contemporary compositions, with a particular focus on showcasing Korean composers alongside internationally renowned masters. They are known for their dynamic performances and commitment to artistic innovation.

The Kursaal Auditorium, opened in 1999, is a significant landmark in San Sebastián designed by Rafael Moneo. It’s a striking example of modern architecture, comprising three interconnected volumes – the Cube, the Auditorium Hall, and the Chamber Hall – situated on the Urumea River. The auditorium hall itself is specifically designed for acoustic excellence and hosts a wide range of performances including orchestral concerts, opera, ballet and musical theatre. Its construction was part of a larger urban regeneration project aimed at revitalizing the area surrounding the river. The building’s design intentionally incorporates transparency and open spaces to connect with the city's environment.
