'Jo Seongjin Appearance' LG Art Center Opening Performance Ticket Sales Begin

Agreeing to Follow the Purpose of Operating a 'Concert Hall Without Invitation Tickets'

All seats for the opening performance at LG Arts Center Seoul, featuring pianist Cho Seong-jin, will be available for purchase. LG Arts Center Seoul announced on the 19th that tickets for the 'Simon Rattle & London Symphony Orchestra' concert on October 13 will be sold. Originally, the seats were planned to be filled by invitation, but the decision was changed to ticket sales.

LG Arts Center Seoul explained, "We initially planned the event following the custom of inviting stakeholders and key figures for the opening of the venue, but opinions arose that this policy contradicted the operational principle of a 'venue without invitation-only tickets,' so we switched to sales." Center Director Lee Hyun-jung also stated, "We judged that selling tickets to audiences who wish to attend better aligns with the fundamental purpose and operational intent of the performance hall." All proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to the Korea Mecenat Association and used to support emerging artists in the performing arts sector.

LG Arts Center Seoul is a new venue relocated from Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, where LG Arts Center had been located for 22 years, to Magok-dong, Gangseo-gu. The inaugural performance will be a collaboration between world-renowned conductor Simon Rattle, the London Symphony Orchestra, and Cho Seong-jin.
