Now in its twelfth year, the K-Music Festival returns in autumn 2025 with an expansive programme of concerts showcasing the diversity and innovation of contemporary Korean music.
Running from October 1st to November 20th, the K-Music Festival is organised by the Korean Cultural Centre UK in partnership with Serious, producers of the EFG London Jazz Festival, and will feature leading Korean and UK artists at major London venues including the Barbican, Southbank Centre, Royal Albert Hall, and Kings Place.
Since 2013, the K-Music Festival has introduced UK audiences to Korean musicians working at the intersection of tradition, jazz, and experimental sounds. While the festival remains rooted in fusion and improvisational music, it also supports cross-genre collaborations, including contemporary classical commissions and hybrid performances. The 2025 edition reflects this commitment to breadth and dialogue, with concerts that span improvisation, orchestral post-rock, and jazz-influenced chamber works.
