Oji Hall in Ginza is renowned as a hall dedicated to chamber music.
In this luxurious space, this music festival is a one-day event to encounter, learn, and savor the charm of chamber music.

The daytime performance will feature a varied program of chamber music pieces, ranging from familiar masterpieces for first-time listeners to full-fledged chamber music works. Each piece is of a length that is easy to listen to, so you can stop by casually while shopping or going out in Ginza.

Part 1
The opening of the concert will be a string quartet led by the violinist Chiharu Taki, who is currently the focus of much attention. The quartet will perform the powerful "Star Wars" theme, Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," which everyone has heard at least once, and Barber's "Adagio for Strings," which is filled with deep emotion. This is a program that combines familiarity and authentic sound, and is a perfect opening to the daytime performance.

Part 2
Violinist Chiharu Taki, who has studied in Europe for a long time, will introduce the charm of Schumann's "Piano Quintet," loved all over the world, while teaching her students to play it. The five players, who love music and continue to study it despite their day jobs, have been diligently preparing for this occasion for about five months in the SOUP chamber music program. The audience will be able to hear not only the works, but also experience the process of how the music is shaped and deepened.

Part 3
Joe Hisaishi "The Pigeon and the Boy" will be performed solo by popular trumpet player Aimi Nakajima from the 3rd floor balcony of Oji Hall. The melody, so impressive in the movie "Laputa: Castle in the Sky," pours down from above the hall, enveloping the audience with its rich resonance. This is a special acoustic experience that allows the audience to feel the resonance of a hall dedicated to chamber music with their whole body.

The concert will also feature the "Piano Quintet" by Elgar, a leading British composer, and the light and stylishly appealing Sextet by Martineau. Through these works, which have completely different characteristics, the audience will be able to enjoy the variety and depth of chamber music.
