Seoul, South Korea – Deoksugung Palace will host the final music concert of the year at the Central Hall of the Daehan Empire History Museum within the Seokjojeon building on November 27th at 7 PM.

The Deoksugung Palace Management Office announced that the concert, titled "Sangsa Bulmang" (Yearning for Each Other), will feature performances by members of the Kumho Soloists, renowned musicians on the global stage. The concert will showcase the soulful and beautiful chamber music of Antonín Dvořák, a Czech composer known for his nationalist works.

Violinist Song Ji-won, cellist Lee Kyung-jun, and pianist Son Jeong-beom will perform Dvořák's "Romance for Violin and Piano, B.38," "Silent Woods for Cello and Piano, B.173," and "Piano Trio No. 4 in E minor, 'Dumky,' B.166." The organizers explained that the concert's theme, "Sangsa Bulmang," which translates to "yearning for each other," reflects the deep and heartfelt emotions found in Dvořák's music, promising to fill the autumn night at Seokjojeon with moving melodies.

To attend the concert, the public must enter a lottery. Applications will be accepted from November 18th at 11 AM to November 21st at 4 PM through the Royal Palace Cultural Heritage website (royal.khs.go.kr/dsg). The winners will be announced on November 22nd at 11 AM. A limited number of seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for individuals aged 65 and over, people with disabilities, and foreign visitors.

Admission to the concert is free, and on the day of the performance, November 27th, admission to Deoksugung Palace will also be free as part of the "Culture Day" initiative.

Seokjojeon, a Western-style stone building, was constructed within Deoksugung Palace during the reign of Emperor Gojong and completed in 1910. Historical records indicate that pianist Kim Young-hwan held classical music concerts in the building shortly after its completion. Inspired by this historical precedent, Deoksugung Palace has been hosting regular music concerts at Seokjojeon since 2015.
