The Asia Culture Center Foundation (hereafter ACC Foundation) announced on August 5 that it will present "Baik Kunwoo and Mozart" as the second stage of the "2025 ACC Super Classic" series at Theater 2 of the Asia Culture Center Arts Theater on October 23.

This performance is part of the nationwide tour "Mozart-Program II," which celebrates world-renowned pianist Baik Kunwoo's release of his very first Mozart album.

Marking the 69th anniversary of his debut as a pianist this year, Baik Kunwoo is a distinguished maestro who has won multiple prizes at major international competitions and has been active on the global stage. Even well past the age of seventy, he continues his daily piano practice and research, constantly challenging himself with new music, earning him the nickname "the seeker on the keyboard."

In this concert, pianist Baik Kunwoo will perform Mozart’s iconic Piano Sonatas No. 10, No. 12, and No. 16, as well as familiar pieces such as "Rondo" and "Fantasia." The program also features hidden gems like "Adagio for Glass Harmonica" and "Little Funeral March," offering a rich and diverse musical experience.

Baik Kunwoo, who has deeply explored and studied Mozart’s entire life and music, will present what he calls the "final chapter of his Mozart exploration," reflecting his own 69-year musical journey on stage. As a result, the audience will have a meaningful opportunity to closely experience Mozart’s unique emotional world, from sorrow within joy to the poignant emotions embedded in clear and pure harmonies, and the interplay between minor and major keys.

Tickets for this performance are priced at 70,000 won for R seats, 50,000 won for S seats, and 30,000 won for A seats. They will be available for purchase on the ACC Foundation website starting at 10 a.m. on August 7.
