Seoul is recruiting participants for the “Seoul Youth Orchestra Performance Tour of Three European Countries,” a 7-night, 9-day program running from July 27 to Aug. 4, 2026, with conductor Baek Yun-hak.

The city said the program is designed to help Seoul teenagers gain performance experience on an international stage and broaden their musical skills.

Participants will join a youth orchestra festival in the Aix-en-Provence area of France, where they will perform and exchange with young musicians from other countries through music.

Seoul said the tour is intended to offer practical arts experience through performances and cultural exchange, not just overseas travel. With Baek taking part, participants are expected to build ensemble and stage experience through orchestra rehearsals and concerts.

“This performance tour will be an opportunity for Seoul youth to gain experience on the international stage and assess their own capabilities,” said Joo Ho-don, head of the Youth Policy Division at Seoul’s Lifelong Education Bureau.

The program will be held in three European countries and aims to expand cultural and arts opportunities for teenagers.
