The Japan Philharmonic Orchestra's Summer Vacation Concert, which began as a pioneer of parent-child concerts in 1975, is celebrating its 51st year this year. We are looking for short-term interns to help manage the day-of this historic concert.
In addition to the orchestra performance, the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra's summer vacation concerts also include a variety of events, such as a pre-concert in the lobby, a get-together with the performers, and an autograph session, allowing children and their families to feel closer to music. Would you like to work at the concert site as a lobby staff member during the performance? We welcome applications from people who are interested in managing orchestral concerts or children's concerts, who aspire to work in a music-related field, or who would like to hear from someone involved in orchestra management.
