Professor Dae Jin Kim of Korea National University of Arts, who is also Music Director and Permanent Conductor of the Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra, served as the conductor with Soprano Ji Eun Lee and Tenor Seok Neuk Lee collaborating.

Overture Egmont Op. 84 and Symphony No. 5 in C Major Op. 67 (both composed by Beethoven) were played during the concert.

Established in 1982, the Orchestra has been staging at least 60 concerts per year. It is becoming a popular orchestra after Professor Kim, a top-class pianist in Korea, joined as Permanent Conductor in 2008.
