It will visit Wroc\u0142aw (EU Capital of Culture 2016), Zagreb, Vienna, Rotterdam and Dortmund. Led by the dynamic Jonathan Nott, who has been its Music Director since the 2014\/2015 season and has committed himself to the orchestra until 2026, it will perform two varied programs that will showcase the orchestra at its best.\n    <\/li>\n    <li>\n    Throughout its seventy-year history, the orchestra has commissioned and premiered many works by Japanese composers. For the program being performed in Wroc\u0142aw and Rotterdam, it have chosen to perform Takemitsu\u2019s Requiem for Strings (premiered by the TSO in 1957), also in memory of the 20th anniversary of the composer\u2019s death. The work will be combined with Debussy\u2019s La Mer, which was famously inspired by a Japanese woodblock print, and Brahms\u2019s Symphony No.1.\n    <\/li>\n    <li>\n    In the other program, being performed in Zagreb, Vienna, Dortmund, the renowned German violinist Isabelle Faust will join Nott and the orchestra in Beethoven\u2019s Violin Concerto, and will surely captivate the listeners with her insightful and faithful interpretation. The program will conclude with Shostakovich\u2019s epic Tenth Symphony, a special work for the TSO as it gave the Japanese premiere in 1954.\n    <\/li>\n    <li>\n    Through this European Tour, the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra hopes to make its presence known in Europe as well as to promote the lively Japanese orchestral scene in the run-up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.\n    <\/li>\n
