Even though there is no official announcement on their official website, according to some media, Seoul Philharmonic seems to cancel their US tour originally planned to be April in seven cities.

“In a written statement to tour venues, the production agency and the SPO said “the cancellation is due to a recent and significant cut in tour funding from the City of Seoul.”

It continued, “The SPO, which is heavily subsidized by the City of Seoul, has failed to secure sufficient financial support from alternative sources”
