Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The Orchestral Ensemble Seoul (OES) is a South Korean chamber orchestra based in Seoul. Established in 2014, it is one of the finest chamber orchestras in South Korea. The orchestra is the Governmental Arts Organization designated by the Seoul City since 2020. Its Artistic Director and Chief Conductor is Daniel Gyu-seo Lee.
Overview
editEstablished in January 2014, the Orchestral Ensemble Seoul has achieved unprecedented growth with extraordinary musicianship, and been considered one of the most important music groups in Korea. In May 2014, the orchestra held its inaugural concert at the Sejong Centre, conducted by Daniel Gyu-seo Lee. In December of the same year, the orchestra started subscription concerts at the Seoul Arts Center with internationally acclaimed artists including Bomsori Kim, Yeol Eum Son, Attila Jun, Sunhae Im, Hieyon Choi, and Kyung Sun Lee, to name a few.:[1]
In 2020, the Seoul City designated the orchestra as the Governmental Arts Organization. The orchestra is focusing on retaining symphonic repertoires in period between Mozart and Brahms. Recently the orchestra accomplished the 'Complete Beethoven Symphonies and Piano Concertos' at the Seoul Arts Center. During this cycle, the Eroica Symphony was released as a live album in association with NCM Klassik.[2][3] Currently the orchestra is on the 'Complete Schumann Symphonies and Concertos.'
Comments
editRenowned Finnish music critic Harri Kuusisaari commented on its live recording album as follows:
"...it is surprising to hear such a convincing Beethoven Symphony from this young Korean project orchestra. Lee has everything in his grip and the orchestra follows him enthusiastically."
Grammy Award winning classical producer Michael Fine characterised the sound of the OES[4]
"... stylish, alert, warm, and transparent with so much of the counterpoint beautifully revealed in the most natural way. ..."
After the Korean tour with Lee and the OES, Pianist Yeol Eum Son noted:
"...Korea's Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields."
