K Music Festival

London welcomes the K Music Festival from 3rd October to 23rd November. Taking place across several venues in London including The Barbican Theatre and Southbank Center, the city will see an array of talent grace the stages.

Kicking off the festival, there will be a performance of Shakespeare’s Lear by the National Changgeuk Company which was critically acclaimed at its 2022 premiere. The Barbican describes their restaging of one of the greatest tragedies as ‘spellbinding’. Some of South Korea’s leading creatives, performers and musicians bring this immersive experience rooted in Korean tradition and heritage.

Na Yoon-Sun, a 30 year jazz music veteran takes the stage at Union Chapel. Soprano Hera Hyesang Park makes her London debut at Smith Square Hall. The rest of the line-up across the dates includes Seayool Kim with Ligeti Quartet, Black String, SMTO x No-noise, with Heemoon Lee closing the festival with his band Obangsingwa featuring their new album, Spangle in partnership with the EFG Jazz Festival.
