One of Europe's leading chamber orchestras, the Swiss Lausanne Chamber Orchestra (OCL), will hold its first concert in Korea on September 3rd at the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall.

The program includes Beethoven's "Romance No. 1 and No. 2," Beethoven's "Triple Concerto," Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin," and Prokofiev's "Classical Symphony No. 1."

The Lausanne Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1942 and is a chamber orchestra that performs a vast repertoire ranging from Baroque to contemporary compositions.

Capu?on, who will conduct, began studying music at the Paris Conservatory at the age of 14 and quickly rose to the top ranks of the global music scene at a young age. He gained recognition when he was named "Newcomer of the Year" by the jury of the Victoires de la Musique Classique at age 25. In 2011, he was awarded the French National Order of Merit by the French government for his contributions to the development of the global classical music scene. He is currently one of the busiest violinists. According to the "2023 Classical Music Statistics" released by the classical music site Bachtrack, he ranked second among violinists with the most performances last year. He was appointed artistic director of the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra in 2021.

Cellist Han Jae-min began playing the cello at the age of five and entered the Korea National University of Arts as the youngest student. He won the 2021 George Enescu International Competition in Romania and the 2022 Isang Yun Competition.

Pianist Lee Jin-sang won the Cologne International Piano Competition in 2005 and became the first Asian to win the G?za Anda Competition in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2009.
