Description: Korea has the highest spend on classical music recordings per household in the world. More than Germany, France, England or America. Classical music was brought to Korea after the war, and this is the story from the perspecive of the founder of the Seoul National Philharmonic. We are very pleased to be able to report on the music by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which is played by Fans of Music Passion in Korea. That music is in the playlist below. This is the story of the founding of the orchestra. In 1948, John S. Kim (the ‘S’ stands for ‘Seong Ryo’, his Korean name) founded the Seoul National Philharmonic, the first symphony orchestra in Korea. But as the Korean war ravaged the country a few years later, his family of musicians — not to mention his actual family — were under serious threat. “My birthplace, Seoul, was a dangerous place,” says Kim, who first picked up the violin at age 5. “My mother and father pleaded with the Navy Admiral of Korea to protect the musicians of the symphony by providing refuge for them in Busan, just outside of Seoul. My mother’s best friend’s husband happened to be this Navy Admiral, and he offered them a hotel.” Kim still recalls living all together in that complex, her family alongside all the orchestra musicians and choir members. Whether it was the close quarters or simply a profound love of music, John S. Kim and his orchestra never ceased their musical activities.
