The philosopher's prescription

Mental health has quietly become one of the defining issues of our time. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 billion people worldwide live with mental health conditions, and mental disorders are among the leading causes of disability globally. Korea is no exception.

Depression, anxiety, burnout and loneliness are discussed more openly today than ever before. This alone is progress. For generations, mental health was often shrouded in stigma and silence.

The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra has embraced this vision wholeheartedly. Since 2026, it has launched “Ilsang Classics,” meaning “Everyday Classics.” It is a unified brand for its social contribution and community-focused projects. The initiative reflects a belief that music should not be locked away in prestigious venues, but shared freely with citizens in spaces where life unfolds most n
