With Mr. Opitz after the performance
To celebrate the 400th Yokohama Regular Concert, Chairman Hirai received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Akiko Ito, General Manager of the venue, Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall.
We would like to once again express our deepest gratitude to Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall, which has been an important partner of the Japan Philharmonic and has supported the Yokohama Regular Concert since September 1998.
Since May 1973, the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra's Yokohama Regular Concert has been playing music in Kanagawa for over half a century, changing venues from Kanagawa Prefectural Music Hall, Kanagawa Prefectural Hall, and Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported us over the years.
Mr. Opitz, Principal Conductor Kah-Chung Wong, and Masaaki Tanokura (Concertmaster)
