Superstar pianist Yiruma announces exclusive encore concert

World renowned South Korean composer and pianist Yiruma will return to Australia for an exclusive Sydney performance this June at the iconic Sydney Opera House. Yiruma will perform in Sydney Opera House Concert Hall for one night only. Internationally acclaimed for hits such as River Flows in You and Kiss the Rain, Yiruma is regarded as one of the world’s leading composer-pianists having amassed more than 2 billion streams. His 2023/2024 World Tour has been met with international fanfare and sold-out performances throughout Oceania, Asia, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. 

Yiruma is thrilled to return to one of his favourite venues and countries in the world. “I feel such a special connection to the Sydney Opera House and Australian audiences.” This performance will mark Yiruma’s return to Australia following a sold-out Oceania tour in December 2023 where his Sydney Opera House concert sold out in a matter of days. Sydney audiences will be treated to a career spanning set as well as the live debut of tracks from Yiruma's 2023 EP, non è la fine accompanied by cello. Yiruma’s best-selling neo-classical catalogue will be brought to life by piano, violin and cello.
