Music Festival for Children and Young People 2025

Business Overview

A world-class classical music festival created to share the gift of music with children, presented by the Sony Music Foundation and the Suntory Foundation for the Arts. This collaboration brings together two leading organizations renowned for creating inspiring concert experiences for young audiences—for a one-of-a-kind special event found nowhere else in the world.   With the theme “Hearts Dancing, Resonating Together,” the festival invites children to experience the joy of discovering music and the delight of sharing it with others.   Over four days during Japan’s Golden Week, Suntory Hall will welcome leading figures from the classical music world — including Shinya Kiyozuka, Hayato Sumino and Masato Suzuki — for a truly special celebration of music.

Profile

【Sony Music Foundation】
The Sony Music Foundation was established in 1984 by the late Norio Ohga, former Chairman of Sony, as the Sony Music and Arts Promotion Foundation. Renamed the Sony Music Foundation to expand its social contribution initiatives, the non-profit organization has been active for over 40 years.
The Foundation promotes new and engaging ways for people — from infants to young audiences — to experience the beauty and depth of classical music, while also nurturing and supporting emerging artists.
Through a wide range of educational and outreach programs, the Foundation offers children diverse musical experiences and strives to create an environment where every child has the opportunity to develop rich sensibilities and an appreciation for music.
