SM Classics to Host First Orchestra Concert Featuring Red Velvet and More
SM Classics, the classical and jazz label under SM Entertainment, is set to host its first orchestra concert, 'SM CLASSICS LIVE 2025 with Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra'. The event, celebrating SM's 30th anniversary, will take place on February 14th at the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall and on February 15th at the Lotte Concert Hall. This marks a significant milestone for SM Classics, which has been reimagining K-POP hits into orchestra versions since its launch in July 2020.
Highlights of the concert include orchestra versions of Red Velvet's 'Red Flavor', Girls' Generation's 'Into The New World', and Red Velvet's 'Feel My Rhythm', among 14 total tracks. These performances aim to offer a unique and deeply moving experience by blending the rich history of SM's music with classical orchestration.
Adding to the excitement, SHINee's Minho will serve as the opening narrator for both days, with Red Velvet's Wendy joining as a special performer on the 15th, alongside conductor Kim Yoo-won and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert on the 14th will also feature media art, promising a feast for both the eyes and ears.
Tickets for the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall will go on sale on January 21st at 11 AM, while tickets for the Lotte Concert Hall will be available from January 22nd at 11 AM. Further details can be found on SMTOWN's official SNS channels.
This concert is just the beginning for SM Classics, which plans to expand its original IP globally through performance and sheet music licensing, starting with 'SM CLASSICS LIVE 2025'.
