Matinée Concert IV: 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 Music* Why do we travel? Bestselling author and celebrated storyteller Kim Young-ha returns as host of the 2026 Matinée Series, inviting audiences on a journey through Europe's most romantic cities. This high-concept lecture concert weaves classical music together with the author's personal travels through Italy, Germany, France, and Spain — the unfamiliar landscapes, the people he encountered, and the humanistic reflections they inspired. The brilliance of sunlight, quiet moments of solitude, and bursts of artistic inspiration from the road are all brought vividly to life on stage. On a relaxed morning, Kim Young-ha's warm and captivating storytelling paired with music steeped in the spirit of each destination offers a truly special escape — one that reminds you, all over again, why we travel. --- **France — Walking Through Paris, City of Romance** As autumn deepens in October, France is a place where simply walking feels like art. The scent of coffee at a sidewalk café, a breeze off the Seine, artistic inspiration around every corner. Melodies infused with Paris's dreamy atmosphere let you breathe in the romance of a Parisian autumn — no flight required. --- **Program** - Debussy — *Petite Suite*, L. 65: I.
