Kyushu Symphony Orchestra, 445th Regular Concert Unofficial

At the Kyushu Symphony Orchestra’s 445th Regular Concert at ACROS Fukuoka, a new work by Ryoaki Miyashita—created through the Artist-in-Residence program promoted by Fukuoka Prefecture along the JR Hita-Hikosan Line—will be premiered. The concert will feature conductor Gen Ota and pianist Tomoki Sakata. The program will feature Miyashita’s work, which evokes the sounds of the local region, followed by Kodály’s colorful “Variations on the Peacock Theme,” and Akira Ifukube’s magnificent “Concerto-like Symphony.” These artists—linked by deep ties through Akira Ifukube, Gen Ota, and their shared mentor—will breathe new life into this historic masterpiece. As a festival of creativity emanating from Kyushu, this promises to be a truly memorable evening. The program’s deeply evocative selections will resonate with the performers’ masterful technique, filling the hall with a rich, resonant sound. We invite you to fully immerse yourself in this special occasion and experience the very essence of classical music.
