Hanwha Group will hold the classical music concert 'Hanwha Classic 2026' in November in Changwon and Geoje of Gyeongsangnam-do Province, as well as in Seoul.

The French ensemble 'Le Poème Harmonique' will begin its tour on November 22 at Changwon's 3·15 Art Hall, followed by performances at the Geoje Cultural Arts Center on the 24th and at Seoul's Korea National Theater of Performing Arts on the 26th, showcasing French Baroque music.

This year marks the first time that 'Hanwha Classic', a concert series held for 14 consecutive years, has been expanded to include venues in Gyeongsangnam-do Province. Through this performance, classical music enthusiasts in Changwon and Geoje—where Hanwha's core business facilities are located—will be able to experience the essence of Baroque music at nearby concert halls.

The ensemble 'Le Poème Harmonique', which is performing at 'Hanwha Classic 2026', is making its first visit to Korea in 28 years since its founding. Established in 1998, 'Le Poème Harmonique' has led the global early music scene by relentlessly exploring Baroque repertoire.

This year's 'Hanwha Classic 2026' has been selected as a cultural and arts program commemorating the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France, organized by the Embassy of France in Korea. The event holds significant meaning as it recreates music that flourished in 17th-century French courts on Korean stages, fostering cultural exchange between the two nations through music.

A Hanwha Group official, speaking to this newspaper via telephone, said, "Through 'Hanwha Classic', which has been held for 14 years, we are honored to present world-class Baroque music to audiences in Gyeongsangnam-do Province this time."
