Gerrit Prieẞnitz, a German composer who composed “Sacrament Dressed Up” as a Viennese waltz, is meeting the audience together with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra with waltz and polka melodies. We hope you start the new year energetically with this performance composed of dances and opera overtures by 19th century Austrian composers, including Yohan Strauss II, Joseph Strauss, and Richard Heuberger.

Prieẞnitz has performed in Graz, Maribor, Augsburg, Lucerne, Bologna, Bari, Sofia, Tokyo, Nagoya, and Korea.

Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra

The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, which was established as the Korea Symphony Orchestra in 1945, became independent as a foundation in 2005, and under the leadership of its first music director, Jeong Myung Hoon, it has grown internationally by presenting a wide-ranging repertoire. In January 2020, Osmo Vanska, a world-renowned conductor from Finland, took office as the second music director. Regular concerts with world-class guest conductors and collaborators are leading the Korean classical music scene with outstanding musical achievements and programming.
