Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite is one of the most acclaimed and awarded films of the century, winning the rare double of the Cannes Palme d’Or and Academy Award for Best Picture, amongst an avalanche of other accolades. In this concert Jung Jae-il performs piano and conducts Orchestra Victoria through his warped take on the pomp and finery of European baroque as our protagonists, the Kim family, infiltrate the home and lives of the ultra-wealthy Park family, only to discover a sickness at the heart of their system of capital.
Jung Jae-il has rapidly risen to become one of the most celebrated and sought after film composers of his generation. Following his breakout score for Parasite, he has composed the iconic score for Squid Game (seasons 1-3), the 2022 Palme d’Or nominated Broker, Bong Joon-ho’s 2024 sci-fi Mickey 17 and MIFF 2025 selection, the James Sweeney written and directed Twinless. This is his first visit to Australia and this event is exclusive to Melbourne.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the South Korean Maestro Jung Jae-il conduct and perform his own composition Parasite Live in Concert with Orchestra Victoria.
