In 2013, the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan joined forces with Casa da Música, a Portuguese music facility, to create a special Music Education Program. By giving participants opportunities to experience the joys of music across all genres, the Program aims to foster creativity and collaboration through participatory, hands-on projects.
