RNCM Professors to Perform in Seoul During BIEK Global Arts Week

Faculty Concert: From Shadow to Celebration

As part of BIEK Global Arts Week 2026, audiences in Seoul will have the opportunity to attend a special Faculty Concert presented by distinguished artists from Korea and the United Kingdom.

The concert, entitled From Shadow to Celebration, will be held on 30 July 2026 at 7:30 pm at the Rode Arts Center Concert Hall.

The evening brings together internationally recognised musicians including Professor Graham Scott and Professor Simon Callaghan of the Royal Northern College of Music, performing alongside acclaimed Korean artists.

The programme explores music spanning the French, German and Austrian traditions, featuring works by:

• Francis Poulenc

• Robert Schumann

• Claude Debussy

• Franz Schubert

• Ludwig van Beethoven

• Darius Milhaud

  
  

The recital has been carefully designed to celebrate artistic collaboration between Britain and Korea while showcasing the highest standards of professional performance.

For students participating in BIEK Global Arts Week, the concert forms an integral educational experience, allowing young musicians to observe internationally respected performers immediately following their masterclasses and competition activities.

For members of the public, it provides a rare opportunity to hear RNCM professors performing live in Seoul.

The Faculty Concert reflects BIEK's philosophy that educational partnerships flourish through shared artistic experiences as much as through formal academic collaboration.

By bringing British conservatoire faculty directly to Korean audiences, the event strengthens cultural exchange while demonstrating the continuing importance of music as a universal language that transcends borders.

Tickets are now available, and members of the public are warmly invited to attend.
