Zurich turns Seoulful
“Zürich meets Seoul – A Festival of Two Cities” is the fifth edition of a series of global events connecting Zurich with some of the most inspirational cities in the world. The week-long festival will take place in Seoul from 28 September to 5 October 2019. Initiated by the City of Zurich, the Canton of Zurich and Zurich Tourism, in cooperation with the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), the University of Zurich (UZH), the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), and supported by the Swiss Embassy in South Korea, an extensive programme of events will showcase science, technology, art and lifestyle of Zurich, featuring a range of activities in different venues across Seoul.
Some of the musical events have been set up in cooperation with two local festivals running at the same time. Zandari Festa, now in its 8th edition, is one of the most important independent music festival/conferences in the Far East. The Seoul Forest Jazz Festival does what it says on the tin – it is free to get in, and plastic-free, too.
