[Updated] Notice of changes to the 2025/26 season regular concerts, the season's first month, and the start time of the Yokohama regular concert
Change in the start month of the regular concert season and
Change in start time for Yokohama Regular Concert
The Japan Philharmonic Orchestra will celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2026.
We owe this to all of our regular subscribers and everyone who has supported the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to you all.
To mark the 70th anniversary, the regular concert season will begin in April, in line with various Japanese customs and systems.
In addition, we will be starting our Yokohama regular concert earlier so that you will have more time to enjoy yourself after the show.
Details are as follows:
①Starting from the 2026/2027 season, the Tokyo and Yokohama subscription concerts will be held from April to March of the following year.
The regular concert season, which previously ran from September to July of the following year, will be changed to April to March of the following year starting with the 2026/2027 season.
②Due to the change in the start date of the regular concert season, the period from September 2025 to March 2026 will be designated as a "Transition Period (Pre-70th Anniversary Period)," during which six regular concerts will be held in both Tokyo and Yokohama.
We will notify all members at a later date regarding the renewal date.
③Change in start time for Yokohama Regular Concert: 17:00 → 15:00
The start time of our Yokohama Regular Concerts, which currently start at 5:00 PM, will change to 3:00 PM (doors open at 2:10 PM) starting in the pre-70th anniversary period starting in September 2025. We will also work to expand the "after-events" that we hold after performances as part of Yokohama Cultural Wonderland.
