Highlights
Let's welcome the new year with heart-warming songs of joy.
Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9 (Choral)" is a fitting way to end the year. As one of the traditions of the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, the "Ninth Symphony," beloved by many audiences, is not merely a year-end event, but a timeless message that powerfully sings of hope and solidarity.
The conductor will be Tetsuro Ban, renowned for his meticulous and sincere musical compositions. The soloists who will grace the stage are a stellar collection of talented young musicians currently in the spotlight: Ayaka Oki (soprano), Daichi Fujiki (countertenor), Yusuke Kobori (tenor), and Hibiki Ikeuchi (baritone). Don't miss this special "moment of joy" that can only be experienced in December, connecting people across time and hearts. Spend a moment of spiritual cleansing with music, enveloped in the rich sound of the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra.
