This special classical concert, presented by an orchestra composed of students and alumni of the Tokyo University of the Arts, blends music and storytelling. This year’s theme spotlights the father-son duo of novelist Ryunosuke Akutagawa and musician Yasushi Akutagawa, presenting a musical drama set against the backdrop of a cultural festival at a prestigious elementary school. Children of all ages are welcome, and with nursing rooms and stroller parking available, the venue is designed to provide a comfortable and worry-free experience for families. In addition to the orchestra’s live performance, the spectacular stage production—enriched by a choir—is sure to be an unforgettable experience for children who love music. With a script and music inspired by Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s masterpiece “The Spider’s Thread,” we invite you to fully immerse yourself in the charm of classical music. You are free to come and go as you please, so even families with young children can relax and enjoy this musical journey. We invite you to spend a special, heartwarming time with your family this autumn—the season of the arts.
