Twenty-three years after its last tour through Asia, the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra will visit China and South Korea this October.
The tour, which has received support from state and the federal governments via the Australia-Korea Foundation, and BHP, will see 66 ASO musicians and the ASO’s artist in association, Pinchas Zukerman, play the Beijing Music Festival, Shanghai International Arts Festival, as well as in the Tongyeong Concert Hall in South Korea and the recently opened Zhuhai Opera House in China’s Pearl River Delta.

“We’re delighted to be flying the flag for SA arts and culture on the world stage by taking 66 musicians and our Artist in Association to China and South Korea,” the ASO’s managing director, Vincent Ciccarello says.
“The tour will strengthen the ASO’s profile by showcasing our talented musicians internationally, thereby building bridges, making connections and drawing together a diversity of people through music.
“We will strengthen the people-to-people relationships that we’ve been cultivating for several years in the region. We are also looking forward to performing in a range of stunning concert halls.”
