Built in 1928, the red-brick Jeongdong 1928 Art Center—a modern cultural heritage site in Seoul—offers a unique opportunity to experience a special fusion of jazz-pop and classical music.
The music of Laufey—anIcelandic jazz-pop singer-songwriter and Grammy Award-winning artist—is reborn through a classical string quartet performance beneath thousands of romantic candlelights.
Vintage Harmony Unfolds in Seoul
The Jeongdong 1928 Art Center, where this candlelight concert is being held, is the former Salvation Army Central Hall, a building with a history spanning approximately 100 years. It has been reborn as a modern cultural and arts space while preserving its original classical neoclassical columns and hammer-beam wooden roof structure—a feature rarely seen in Korea.
This historic space, which retains the architectural style of the 1920s, creates perfect synergy with Laupi’s musical world, which reinterprets old jazz standards and classic sounds from the 1920s and 1930s with a modern sensibility. Beneath the red brick walls and the high, majestic wooden ceiling, the sight of hundreds of flickering candles offers an immersive experience that goes beyond the music itself.
