<About Mostly Philharmonic Orchestra>
The Mostly Philharmonic Orchestra is a professional orchestra founded in 2003 with the aim of presenting various genres centered on classical music. Through the establishment of a non-profit corporation in 2011, it is taking a step closer to popularizing classical music. In 2012, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, the orchestra successfully completed a complete Beethoven performance series. Based on the Tchaikovsky Symphony complete performance series, Mozart performance series, and Classical Music Travel series, the orchestra creates classical performances that communicate with the public. Furthermore, to popularize classical music, it develops various performance contents and expands its performance area not only to classical music, but also to musicals, film music, drama OSTs, and even popular music, establishing itself as a leading private orchestra in name and reality.
