The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra has grown by presenting a wide repertoire under the leadership of former artistic director and conductor Myung-Whun Chung since becoming an independent foundation in 2005. Following the world-renowned Finnish conductor Osmo V?nsk?, the music director position has been held since this year by Dutch conductor Jaap van Zweden, who is also the music director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

District Mayor Jeong Munheon stated, “We aim to soothe the minds and bodies tired from daily life and offer a life enriched with culture by holding the Our Neighborhood Concert that comes close to the residents.”
