This year’s edition, under the motto ¡Bis! brings together artists who have previously performed in Spain invited by the Centro Cultural Coreano.

Minjoung Kim (pictured) is a South Korean cellist known for her expressive art and brilliant technique. He started his vocational training at the age of 13 with Professor Myung-Wha Chung, and since then has been winning first places in national competitions in South Korea. He made his recital debut at Seoul’s Kumho Art Hall in 2004.
Junhyung Kim was born in 1997, in Seoul. He began studying piano at the age of 10, and is currently studying under Professor Severin von Eckardstein at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln.
The Korea Classical Music Cycle was created in 2018 by the Centro Cultural Coreano in Spain with the aim of making Korean performers known in Europe through concerts in Spain. This cycle is part of the Korea Season project, promoted by KOFICE and the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism that annually promotes Korea’s cultural and artistic diversity in strategic countries. The Korea Season project is held in Spain throughout 2025 with a varied programming that includes music, cinema, literature, visual arts, dance and more.
