Matinee Concert Ⅲ: Author Kim Young-ha's Reasons for Travel, and Music

About this show

# A Reason for Music, A Reason to Travel *Europe — walked through a novelist's eyes, remembered through melody* Why do we travel? Bestselling author and celebrated storyteller Kim Young-ha takes the stage as host of the 2026 Matinée Series, inviting audiences on a journey through Europe's most romantic cities. Having traveled through Italy, Germany, France, and Spain himself, Kim weaves together personal encounters, landscapes, and humanistic reflections with the world of classical music — creating a refined lecture-concert experience unlike any other. The warmth of sunlight, the quiet of solitary thought, the spark of artistic inspiration — all brought vividly to life on stage. On a relaxed morning, let Kim's captivating storytelling and performances steeped in the spirit of each destination offer you a moment of genuine rest, and remind you why we travel in the first place. --- **Spain — A Passion Hotter Than the Sun** At the turn of summer into autumn, we set off for a land of passion. Kim explores the fierce, resilient energy of the Spanish spirit — a people who meet hardship with fire — while the music responds with bold, pulsing rhythms that make your heart race. Rich and blazing as autumn's red leaves, the program fills the stage with brilliance and intensity. --- **Program** - Falla — *Spanish Dance No. 1* from *La Vida Breve* - Piazzolla — *Oblivion* - Piazzolla — *Milonga del Ángel* - Albéniz — *Asturias* - Debussy — *Estampes: II.
