Skopelta Philharmonic Orchestra

The new organization will be launched in August 2020.
The orchestra is an amateur orchestra with Geidai students and Geidai graduates studying music at Tokyo University of the Arts as trainers (principal conductors) for each part, working closely together from rehearsal to performance to create a single concert.
Scoperta means "discovery" in Italian.
We hope you will enjoy the "discovery" that we gain through sincere confrontation with the music,
We will deliver a concert full of new "discoveries" that will be shared with the audience.

The concert will be easy to understand and enjoyable not only for those who are familiar with classical music and orchestras, but also for those who have an image that "orchestras are kind of hard or difficult".
We hope that you will come and enjoy the concert and take home with you many discoveries.
