809 Platform is hosting the Sarang Quintet from the Onnuri Sarang Chamber Orchestra in Seoul (South Korea) for a residency in the Netherlands. The visit takes place during Autism Awareness Month and focuses on connection and inclusion.

The collaboration stems from a desire to share ‘Sarang’ – the Korean word for love. It also aligns with 809 Platform’s commitment to bringing people and communities together, regardless of their background or experience. Accessibility and inclusion are central to this.

An orchestra with a remarkable story

The Sarang Quintet is part of the Onnuri Sarang Chamber Orchestra from Seoul. The ensemble includes musicians with autism. The performance provides an opportunity for connection, interaction and sharing stories.

The programme features classical chamber music, traditional Korean folk songs, spirituals and sing-along songs. Visitors can simply listen or join in. Everyone is welcome, whether or not they have a musical background. Admission to the concert is free and no tickets are required.
