Stakura 2026 in Yokohama, Japan Takuma Ishii Produce Rating Classic Unofficial

Pianist Takuma Ishii will produce "Rating Classics" in Yokohama in the summer of 2026. This concert will reveal the profound fascination of classical music in a quiz format that will be both funny and surprising. Which is the true violin?" "Can you tell the difference in tone between the viola and the viola?" The host, Takuma Ishii, will himself take part in the unpredictable developments, reminiscent of a popular TV show. The co-hosts are charismatic violinist Yasunao Ishida, NHK Symphony Orchestra principal cellist Rei Tsujimoto, and Ryota Azuma, who continues to make great strides in his career. The audience is invited to become a member of the audience and challenge the essence of "live sound" played by first-rate players with a keen ear. We will present a completely new type of classical music experience that combines humorous talks and superb performances.
