Why Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the New Japan Philharmonic matters in Japan
Attending a performance of Beethovens Ninth Symphony, affectionately known in Japan as Daiku (“The Ninth”) is one of the most cherished year-end cultural traditions in the country. This tradition began in the twentieth century and quickly spread across Japanese cities growing into a national event marked by massive choral celebrations.
The New Japan Philharmonic, founded in 1972 by the conductor Seiji Ozawa and the orchestra members holds a special place in Tokyo’s musical scene. Under the direction of Music Director Yutaka Sado, who studied under Leonard Bernstein and Seiji Ozawa these concerts are knowing for their energy and deeply expressive performances. The 2026 series will feature Japanese soloists such as Yurie Takano, Naoki Miyazato and Kazu Hirano along with the well-known Kuritomokai Chorus, led by chorus master Fumiaki Kuriyama.
The December 2026 performances will take place in concert halls across Tokyo and Yokohama including special matinee shows and organ concerts, at Suntory Hall. Because the main dates sell out far in advance getting tickets offers visitors a real and meaningful look into how classical music is woven into Japan’s end-of-year traditions.
