Lotte Concert Hall marks its 10th anniversary in 2026 with a major festival-style season called "10 for 10," featuring world-class soloists and orchestras. Highlights include conductor Myung-Whun Chung with the Dresden Staatskapelle (the world’s oldest orchestra), pianist Yunchan Lim, and a program of Weber, Dvořák and Schumann. The season spotlights pipe organ programs with Cameron Carpenter and Olivier Latry, concerts by One Korea Orchestra (a peace-focused project orchestra) led by Chung, and recitals by violinist Ray Chen and pianist Seong-Jin Cho (the hall’s in-house artist). The Helsinki Philharmonic under Jukka-Pekka Saraste performs Sibelius, and Theodor Currentzis with his Utopia Orchestra makes its long-awaited Korea debut. The season closes with Charles Dutoit and Martha Argerich in programs with the KBS Symphony Orchestra. The lineup emphasizes Lotte Concert Hall’s role in expanding Korea’s classical scene through ambitious programming, artist residencies, and public outreach (e.g., organ series and in-house artist system).
