Overview

The Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre is launching an ambitious new initiative, the “Symphonic City Project,” led by renowned conductor Kazuki Yamada, who is set to become the theatre’s new Artistic Director of the Music Division in April 2026. The inaugural event for this project is a grand performance of Shuko Mizuno’s legendary and monumental work, “Symphonic Transformation.” This composition, created over 25 years, is celebrated for its unparalleled scale, complexity, and fusion of classical, jazz, and ethnic musical traditions, marking it as one of the largest symphonic works ever conceived by a Japanese composer.

This performance on Sunday, May 10, 2026, represents a significant cultural moment, signaling the beginning of a new era for musical creation and dissemination at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre under Yamada’s direction. With themes of “near future,” “global communication,” and “crossover,” the “Symphonic City Project” aims to further promote musical excellence on the global stage. Led by the maestro’s baton and featuring the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, this event promises an overwhelming spectacle of energy and sound that fulfills the fundamental purpose of a public hall: to bring people together for a shared, exhilarating artistic experience.
