K-Music Festival

Korean music isn’t just about K-pop and the return of K-Music Festival – now in its 12th year –will help you discover a whole range of the country’s diverse aural culture at iconic venues including the Barbican, the Southbank Centre, the Royal Albert Hall, and Kings Place. Highlights of this year’s programme include Seoul-based post-rock outfit Jambinai joining forces with the London Contemporary Orchestra for a one-off orchestral spectacle, composer Won Il delivering Dionysus Robot, an immersive piece merging sound, shamanic rhythm and drag, and genre-hopping quartet Gray by Silver bringing an idiosyncratic blend of contemporary, jazz and classical music incorporating Korean folk instruments to the Royal Albert Hall’s Late Night Jazz Series.
