Last time we hosted Olympic, 1964, was the time artistic activities flourished, such as music, art, literature, film, architect and others. Our 37th concert featured orchestral works of 1964 period, cultural heritage which should be passed on to the future. The 38th concert featured Teizo Matsumura’s compositions to reveal the full spectrum of his work. He also composed the first ’Symphony’ at that time.
