Kyoto Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nodoka Okizawa Violin: Midori Goto Unofficial

Nodoka Okizawa, a conductor who has attracted the attention of the world's musical world, and Midori Goto, a violinist whose delicate and graceful tone has captivated the world, will meet again in a joint performance with the Kyoto Symphony Orchestra. The two violinists have performed together in their overseas debuts in the past, and their well-matched performances have been highly acclaimed in various fields. This time, the Kyoto Symphony Orchestra will take on the difficult challenge of Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1, and in this commemorative year of the orchestra's 70th anniversary, will deliver a special orchestral sound from the city of a thousand years. This performance will include a pre-concert talk by the conductor himself, which will be a rare opportunity to get a deeper insight into the background and interpretation of the piece. The program is diverse, ranging from Bernstein's gorgeous overtures and profound concertos to F. Price's symphonies, which have been re-evaluated in recent years. We hope you will enjoy this special opportunity to experience the joy of music to the fullest.
