About

Suwon Outdoor Music Hall was built by Samsung Electronics and donated to Suwon City. Equipped with state-of-the-art sound systems, it is the largest outdoor music hall in Korea. It has fixed seating plus a lawn plaza that holds about 15,000 people, and it plays a big part in the cultural life of Suwon's residents. Inside the building are dedicated rehearsal rooms for the Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra and the Suwon Civic Chorale, as well as dressing rooms and lounges. The stage covers about 80 pyeong and has acoustic panels and lighting suited to all kinds of performances. Nineteen outdoor speakers made with the latest Teflon materials deliver high-quality sound. Together with the tent-like canopy over each hall and the bass speakers, they give the best sound anywhere on the lawn plaza, so visitors can enjoy fine music from any spot. The building won the Korean Architecture Culture Award and is admired for its beautiful exterior. As one of the largest and best outdoor music halls in Korea, it is a well-loved outdoor cultural space for Suwon residents, and many families come here for weekend outings.
