A special moment, the quiet night of royal tombs blooming into music.
A premium outdoor concert, Royal Stage, with Yang Bang-ean, set against the serene night of Hongneung and Yureung.
Centered on Yang Bang-ean, one of Korea’s leading crossover musicians, this performance brings together piano, guitar, bass, drums, strings, brass, percussion, and taepyeongso to deliver a rich sound that moves freely across genres, from Korean traditional music to jazz and classical. On a night at the royal tombs that is not easy to experience in everyday life, music fills the tranquil grounds, creating a special stage where the depth of history and the sensibility of contemporary music intersect.
The Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty comprise 40 royal tombs enshrining kings and queens of the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire, and were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2009.
Based on Confucian principles and geomantic beliefs, the royal tombs, ritual spaces, and surrounding natural scenery were created in harmonious balance.
Through royal records, you can explore the history and traditions of the Joseon Dynasty, and even today, ancestral rites continue each year, carrying on their cultural value.
