Overview

Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra 50th Anniversary Special Concert celebrates the orchestra’s 50th year with two monumental performances of Mahler’s symphonies at Suntory Hall Main Hall in Tokyo. On February 11, 2026 (national holiday), the orchestra, led by Permanent Conductor Ken Takaseki, performs Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 in A minor “Tragic,” marking their first collaboration on this dramatic work. On March 31, 2026, Takaseki conducts Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor “Resurrection,” featuring soprano Misaki Morino, mezzo-soprano Etsuko Kano, and the Tokyo City Philharmonic Choir (led by Takahiro Fujimaru), showcasing a decade of musical growth. Held in the ~2,000-seat Suntory Hall, praised on X for its “pristine acoustics” and the orchestra’s “powerful Mahler interpretations,” tickets range from ¥7,000 (C seats) to ¥10,000 (S seats). Presale lotteries for “poco” members are open until October 9, 2025, 23:59 JST, with general sales starting October 10, 2025, 11:00 JST. Located near Roppongi-itchome Station, Suntory Hall is ideal for exploring Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills or Tokyo Tower. Secure tickets early via Jasumo due to high demand for this milestone event.
