Akashi Philharmonic Orchestra

This time we will focus on the very famous pieces, Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 "Destiny" and the overture to Mozart's opera "The Magic Flute," along with a rare piece, Bottegini's "Double Bass Concerto" No. 1.
It is a rare opportunity to see a contrabass, that large instrument, being freely manipulated and played right in front of you.
Please also enjoy Hisayo Tanaka's superb technique.
