Schedule & Ticket Information

Background

The New Japan Philharmonic Special Concert series continues its proud tradition of bringing fresh musical perspectives to classical audiences with this fourth volume of the “New Wind Masterpieces” series. The concert is structured to open with the ethereal textures of Mendelssohn’s Overture to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” setting a magical atmosphere for the technically demanding piano works that follow.

By spotlighting celebrated competition winners, the series bridges the gap between traditional orchestral heritage and the next generation of global virtuosos.
