This year-long music program brings together a diverse range of events centered on creativity and participation, with the aim of revitalizing music culture in the global city of arts and culture that is Tokyo.
With classical music as the common theme, this program will both provide stimulus to Tokyo’s musical culture and promote it worldwide through the program’s two key elements: Enjoy Concerts!, which features a diverse array of concerts held in partnership with artists and cultural facilities in a variety of fields, and the Music Education Program, undertaken in collaboration with overseas organizations that promote musical education.
Two of the world’s leading jazz musicians–pianist Makoto Ozone, who has a successful and wide-ranging career in both jazz and classical music, and internationally acclaimed jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis–will take on the challenge of performing classical works by Prokofiev and John Adams.
Revel in the “miraculous sound” of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Recital Hall as you take in the exquisite performances by finest artists.

Finding a new world through music – For people of all ages, from infants to adults
This is an education program undertaken in collaboration with the Portuguese music facility Casa da Música, which carries out cutting-edge music dissemination projects in other countries.
We will offer a participatory education program which develops creativity and a spirit of cooperation while providing an opportunity to experience the fun of genre-crossing music.
Workshop Leader Education Program
This program, based on the kind of practical experience that cannot be learned in a classroom setting alone, creates and presents workshops under the guidance of Casa da Música members.
Students whose future potential is recognized in this education program will be sent to Casa da Música (Portugal) as trainees. In addition, members selected as “Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Workshop Leaders” will appear in workshops held in Tokyo Bunka Kaikan and other venues.
Casa da Música
To commemorate Porto’s designation as European Capital of Culture in 2001, Casa da Música was opened in 2005 as the first musical institution in Portugal designed for the purpose of musical creation. In addition to holding festivals and concerts combining a variety of arts and culture, Casa da Música was the first institution in Portugal to undertake large-scale education diffusion projects. In the belief that “music is not only art, but a resource that cultivates richness of spirit in human beings,” it states that the mission of its education programs is to offer fulfilling musical experiences to everyone, and carries out activities rooted in the community and projects in which residents of the city are actively involved.

In cooperation with Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Opera BOX “Naita Akaoni” (The Red Ogre Who Cried), this program carries out various hands-on workshops which give young people opportunities to directly experience performing arts and culture, and cultivate a rich and sensitive spirit in the young people who will lead the world in the future.
We will hold a workshop for participants in the children’s chorus and instrumental ensemble that will appear in this production; a crafts and construction workshop for making props and other objects to be used in the performance; and workshops in stage management, scenery, costumes, lighting design and production, for students who aspire to become specialists in stage design and other areas of stage creation.
