Support

Supported by many people, Japan Philharmonic Orchestra carries out various activities centering around concerts which are held more than 150 times per year.

To continue giving the high-quality performances and to drive the activity that plays a part of the realization of a "culturally rich community" through music, we hope that a wide range of support can improve our economic base.

Hoping to connect with the audience through our performances and to support the realization of a wealthy community, we carry out three activities, "Orchestra concerts," "Educational program" and "Regional activities," and expand culture through music.

Through everyday activity, we feel that music spreads by the power of networks and communications and deepens pleasure even more. All members of the orchestra give the warmth of people's heart with our performances as a music group that understands the most the pleasure of connecting with people through music.

Self-supporting efforts, of course, are also necessary to maintain and develop the activities of Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. We will keep making efforts on the management aspect.

On the other hand, continuity is important for the cultural program. In recent Japan, donation and support from the audience are essential to stably continue our activities. In the future, Japan Philharmonic Orchestra would like to carry out multiple activities with people in various communities.

Cultural maturity is necessary for further social development. Being a part of it, Japan Philharmonic Orchestra would like to enhance the social role even more. We kindly ask you for your warm support.

Why don't you you participate in the activities of Japan Philharmonic Orchestra,
making life full of music and spreading the joy of music together?
