As the world’s first large-scale K-pop orchestra concert, it bridges contemporary pop with classical traditions. Drawing inspiration from legendary composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Claude Debussy, and Sergei Rachmaninoff, the production reimagines modern K-pop through the lens of orchestral grandeur.

This innovative approach creates a new fusion of genres – one that blends centuries-old compositional techniques with the emotional intensity and global appeal of K-pop. Audiences can look forward to orchestral renditions of beloved songs from some of the most influential K-pop acts of the past three decades, including:

● BoA

● TVXQ

● Girls' Generation

● Red Velvet

● NCT

● aespa

Adding to the excitement, acclaimed vocalist Wendy from popular girl group Red Velvet will appear as the special guest performer for the Singapore show. Known for her exceptional vocal range, emotional delivery, and commanding stage presence, Wendy will perform live alongside the orchestra — elevating the concert into a truly immersive and unforgettable experience. Her participation brings a rare opportunity for fans to hear K-pop vocals seamlessly integrated into a full orchestral setting.

The performance will be brought to life by the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, under the direction of conductor Thanapol Setabrahmana. From sweeping orchestral arrangements to powerful live vocals, the show promises an evening of musical innovation and emotional resonance.

Having launched in Seoul in 2025 as part of a global touring initiative, SM Classics Live is set to travel across major cities worldwide, with Singapore positioned as a key stop in its 2026 tour.
