Seoul Philharmonic to play K-Pop

In a rare descent from symphonic repertoire, the South Korean flagship orchestra is providing a showcase for the country’s major earners.

SHINee’s Minho (pic) and Red Velvet’s Wendy are to be featured in “SM Classics Live 2025 with Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra″

In 2020, the orchestra signed a memorandum of understanding with the agency’s classical music label, SM Classics, and has been releasing orchestral versions of songs like Red Velvet’s “Red Flavor” (2017) in 2020, aespa’s “Black Mamba” (2020) in 2022, Girls’ Generation’s “Into the New World” (2007) in 2023 and Riize’s “Boom Boom Bass” (2024) in 2024.
