The Seoul Philharmonic has cancelled several concerts after one musician tested positive with Covid-19.

It is understood the musicians had been teaching a high-school student who was part of a recent church cluster of cases.

The orchestra immediately called off its weekend concerts and shut its offices for sanitisation.

Next weekend’s concerts may also have to go, which is a shame for music director Osmo Vanska, who has just emerged from two weeks’ enforced quarantine on arrival.
