Son Yeol-eum, one of Korea's most popular star pianists, will make BBC Proms debut this summer.

Founded back in 1895, the Proms is considered the world's largest classical music festival. The annual music festival offers dozens of concerts and performances every single day during its eight-week program in summer and attracts hundreds of thousands of listeners every year.

Son will play Mozart's "Piano Concerto No. 15 in B flat major, K450" as a soloist at 7:30 p.m. on July 23 with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Maestro Omer Meir Wellber, the chief conductor of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, will lead the orchestra to perform Schumann's "Symphony No. 4 in D minor," Schoenberg's "Five Orchestral Pieces," and Ben-Haim's "Symphony No.1" at the concert. Tickets will cost from £7.50 to £41.

Hosted annually by the British public service broadcaster, the Proms has been inviting the world's leading orchestras and artists to perform at London's Royal Albert Hall, mostly, to audiences of a few thousand at each performance. Many of the concerts are scheduled for broadcast live on BBC Radio. This year's BBC Proms begins its nearly two-month program on July 19 and will run through Sept. 14.

Upon returning from London after the concert, Son is slated to focus on her job as artistic director at "Music in PyeongChang," an annual classical music festival held in Korea's eastern Gangwon Province. This year's "Music in PyeongChang" will take place from July 31 to Aug. 10.
