Overview

Viola Performance Group SDA48 Concert 2026 is a captivating showcase by the all-viola ensemble SDA48 (S.D.A. Forty-eight), led by Sachiko Suda, principal violist of the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and principal guest violist of the Japan Century Symphony Orchestra.

This one-of-a-kind project highlights the viola’s warm, rich timbre—often overshadowed in orchestras—through an all-star lineup of 10 principal players from top Japanese and international orchestras, alongside emerging talents, performing a eclectic repertoire from classical masterpieces to rock arrangements exclusively on violas. Formed to expand classical music’s appeal, SDA48 delivers enveloping harmonies and innovative interpretations that have earned praise on X for their “mesmerizing viola unity” and “genre-bending charm.”

Held on March 1, 2026 (Sun), at Dai-ichi Life Hall in Tokyo, the concert starts at 14:00 (doors at 13:30), offering a ~90-minute program of profound, accessible beauty. Tickets are ¥5,800 (all seats reserved) or ¥2,800 (U-25, ID required), with sales open until February 28, 2026, 23:59 JST. The ~1,000-seat modern hall in Chiyoda-ku, near the Imperial Palace, ensures excellent acoustics for the ensemble’s layered sound. Preschool children not permitted; wheelchair users contact promoter post-purchase. Secure via Kyodo Tokyo due to high demand for this viola-centric spectacle.
