By absorbing the good parts of each country and working hard together, we are convinced that we can make a big contribution to the development of the music culture in Japan. <br>\n                    Nowadays the interests of the musicians, classical music fans, and wealthy people from Asian countries are heading to Europe, so we would like to turn their attentions to Japan. It is expected that the standards of musicians in Asian countries as a whole will improve by increasing the numbers of multinational members in Japanese orchestras and multinational applicants of the music universities.<br>\n                    We will also look into the possibility of attracting visitors from abroad to the concerts in Japan, aiming to establish a more active place for international exchange. <br>\n                    By drawing attentions of domestic and international audience to the field of music, we aim to revitalize the music world itself and to establish a large artistic and cultural sphere that covers the whole of Asia.\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n        <section class=\"thailand__schedule\" id=\"schedule\">\n            <h3 class=\"thailand__schedule-title\">Schedule<\/h3>\n             <hr class=\"thailand__schedule-line\">\n             <div class=\"thailand__schedule-inner\">\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-box\">\n                    <figure class=\"thailand__schedule-figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20260418.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-figure--img \"><\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-contentsBox\">\n                    <p class=\"thailand__schedule-date\">18, April 2026(Sat.) 20:00<\/p>\n                    <p class=\"thailand__schedule-subTitle\">Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra &#038; Tokyo Symphony Orchestra present<br>Bruckner\u2019s Fourth and Organ Masterpieces<span class=\"thailand__schedule-location\">Petronas Philharmonic Hall<\/span><\/p>\n\n                    <p class=\"thailand__schedule-strong\">Artist<\/p>\n                    <p class=\"thailand__schedule-text\">\n                        \u30fbConductor=J\u00f6rg-Peter Weigle<br>\n                        \u30fbOrgan=Michael Sch\u00f6nheit\n                    <\/p>\n\n                    <p class=\"thailand__schedule-strong\">Program<\/p>\n                    <p class=\"thailand__schedule-text\">\n                        \u30fbDupre : Cort\u00e8ge et Litanie<br>\n                        \u30fbLiszt(arr.

The second half featured musical actress Seiko Niizuma, who had also appeared at the orchestra&#8217;s Bangkok performance in May. She captivated not only the orchestra and musical fans in attendance, but also many children, with musical numbers and a selection of pop songs perfect for the Christmas season.<br>\n                    At the post-concert reception, many members from both orchestras expressed their hope that such exchanges would continue in the future.\n                    <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-contentsBox\">\n                    <ul class=\"thailand__schedule-list\">\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20251222_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20251222_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20251222_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20251222_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <hr class=\"thailand__schedule-line\">               \n            <div class=\"thailand__schedule-inner\">\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-box\">\n                    <h4 class=\"thailand__schedule-report\">\n                        Report\n                    <\/h4>\n                    <p class=\"thailand__schedule-text\">\n                        Sunday, Dec 7, 2025, 11:00<br>\n                        Tokyo Symphony Orchestra &#038; Suntory Hall &#8220;Children&#8217;s Subscription Concert No.96&#8221;<br>\n                        Suntory Hall<br>\n                        &lt;Artists&gt;<br>\n                        Conductor: Keitaro Harada <br>\n                        Children&#8217;s Musicians: 24 (including 3 Thai musicians)<br>\n                        &lt;Program&gt;<br>\n                        Ginastera: \u201cMalambo\u201d from the ballet suite \u2018Estancia\u2019<br>\n                        J.

Ushida, who had given a brilliant performance of Chopin the day before, played the piano. He played Hisaishi&#8217;s melodies so beautifully. Seiko Niizuma captivated the audience with her greetings in Thai and was met with loud cheers. Since the Japanese language is popular in Thailand, TSO played the orchestral story &#8220;My Neighbor Totoro&#8221; accompanied by Japanese narration with Niizuma. Of course, Niizuma&#8217;s singing voice was unforgettable. Calling Bangkok as her second home, Niizuma captivated the audience with her rich expressiveness and beautiful, resonant voice, leaving a lasting impression on the people of Bangkok.<br>\n                        <br>\n                        Through these performances, we believe that we were able to share the depth and allure of orchestral music with the people of Bangkok.\n                    <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-contentsBox\">\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-contentsBox\">\n                    <ul class=\"thailand__schedule-list\">\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\" style=\"width: 516px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20250529_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                    <\/ul>                    \n                    <ul class=\"thailand__schedule-list\">\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\" style=\"width: 516px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20250529_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n\n                <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <hr class=\"thailand__schedule-line\">\n            <div class=\"thailand__schedule-inner\">\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-box\">\n                    <h4 class=\"thailand__schedule-report\">\n                        Report\n                    <\/h4>\n                    <p class=\"thailand__schedule-text\">\n                        June 1, 2025<br>\n                        TSO Special Concert in kuala lumpur<br>\n                        <br>\n                        TSO made its debut in Malaysia at the Petronas Philharmonic Hall, located beneath the iconic Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

The performance was met with warm applause comparable to that in Bangkok. The concert in Kuala Lumpur The concert in Kuala Lumpur  marked the 80th performance for the TSO in 58 cities overseas, and it was a resounding success. And it had already announced that TSO will perform as a joint orchestra at the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra&#8217;s regular concert in September, which is sure to be a topic of conversation among music fans in Kuala Lumpur.<br>\n                        The performance in Malaysia, the third country visited as part of the Asia Project, fully demonstrated the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra&#8217;s presence.

It was said that tickets for classical concerts in Thailand rarely sell out, but thanks to publicity on social networking sites and other media, tickets were sold out and attracted a lot of local media attention, with Naoto Otomo (conductor), Mone Hattori (vn) and Hirooka, managing director, responding to the press before the performance began.<br>\nIn Thailand, the concert began with Royal anthem of Thailand. The Sibelius Violin Concerto that followed captivated the audience with its passionate performance, prompting enthusiastic cheers from the audience. Ms Hattori also responded with two solo encores. And in the Brahms Symphony No. 1, the orchestra members felt a great response in conveying the group&#8217;s artistry and passion for music to the Thai audience, making it a deeply moving and memorable night for the orchestra. We will continue our activities to increase the number of classical music fans in Asia and to raise the level of music through exchanges.\n                <\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-contentsBox\">\n                    <ul class=\"thailand__schedule-list\">\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20240322_2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20240322_3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20240322_4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                        <li class=\"thailand__schedule-list--item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/tso\/assets\/asia\/images\/img_20240322_5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"thailand__schedule-list--img\"><\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<hr class=\"thailand__schedule-line\">\n<div class=\"thailand__schedule-inner\">\n                <div class=\"thailand__schedule-box\" style=\"max-width: 800px;\">\n                <p class=\"thailand__schedule-text\">\n                    \uff1cA drink after work\uff1e<br>\n                    March in Bangkok is the hottest month of the year with little rainfall.

Even at night, the temperature is still hot and the heat of the concert is cooled with a glass of chilled Singha Beer.
