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.
