Strasbourg National Orchestra Korea Tour Concert Canceled Due to COVID-19 Impact

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The 'Strasbourg National Philharmonic Orchestra' concert scheduled to be held at the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall on the 30th has been canceled due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the event planning company Mast Media announced on the 1st.

The Strasbourg National Philharmonic Orchestra was preparing for a domestic performance after three years, together with world-renowned violinist Vadim Repin.

The orchestra stated that as the COVID-19 situation in France is worsening, and due to the European Union (EU) travel restrictions and mandatory self-quarantine measures after entering Korea, the Korea tour has become impossible. They emphasized that the cancellation is a measure to ensure the safety of the audience and artists, and asked for the generous understanding of the audience who were looking forward to the performance.

Mast Media announced that all purchased tickets will be automatically refunded in full, which will take about 4 to 5 business days. However, for bank transfer reservations, refunds can only be processed after entering the refund account information directly through each ticketing website or customer center, and the refund for bank transfer payments will take about 7 to 10 business days from the date the account information is submitted.
