With strings, winds, and brass playing together, young musicians go beyond the expected—discovering new sounds, tackling new challenges, and experiencing the thrill of performing as a full symphony orchestra. Under the direction of Dr. Yutaka Kono, they explore music that pushes beyond traditional orchestral boundaries, from works by contemporary, diverse composers to exciting selections from movies and other media. It’s more than a concert. It’s a chance to hear what happens when young musicians are challenged to go further.
