Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra 1060th Subscription Concert C Series (weekday noon) Unofficial

Conductor Nodoka Okizawa, who left a strong impression on the audience when they performed together in 2025, will appear again at the subscription concert of the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. The program will open with Toru Takemitsu's "How Slow the Wind", which has the beauty of an exquisite watercolor painting, followed by Mozart's masterpiece, Piano Concerto No. 23, with Yumehana Nakagawa, the winner of the 2021 Clara Haskil International Piano Competition. The program will conclude with Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5, which seems to be driven by a giant mechanism at high speed. Okizawa's brilliant baton, Nakagawa's refined piano, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra's stately ensemble weave together a performance in which the contrast between modern and classical music is striking, making all the pieces worth listening to.
