Toyohashi "First Orchestra from Age 0" New Year Special Concert

About this event

A classical music concert designed for infants and toddlers that can be enjoyed from age 0. Highly acclaimed as a child-rearing support concert, performers passionately play classical masterpieces. With creative presentations and listening methods, even small children will likely remain captivated throughout the concert. Their performance at the "Notes Circus" held in Tottori Prefecture in 2010 drew significant attention, leading to increased performance requests from across the country. In addition to concerts for infants and toddlers, they offer comprehensive programs for kindergartens and nursery schools, elementary schools, and hands-on orchestra concert programs for junior high and high schools. In 2001, it was featured by NHK and the Asahi Shimbun as Japan's first interactive participatory orchestra concert. As the popular "Orchestra Exploration Concert" program under the Agency for Cultural Affairs' "Children's Development Project," it is performed annually at hundreds of elementary and junior high schools nationwide. Various instrument experiences can also be held, including violin ensemble experiences, handmade instrument and quirky instrument experiences, and crafting workshops. In 2009, it was performed nationwide as part of the Agency for Cultural Affairs' "Discovering the Appeal of the Performing Arts Project," and boasts a rich track record of commissioned projects by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. It is also possible to present a set combining an infant-friendly concert and instrument experiences on the same day as a general performance. A single orchestra can perform concerts with different contents. On June 30, 2010, at the Koriyama City Public Hall in Fukushima Prefecture, a concert and instrument experience enjoyable for infants was held in the morning. As an affiliated organization of the specified non-profit organization Japan Youth Music and Performing Arts Association (until 2023), the Japan Salon Concert Association has collaborated with parent-child and children's theaters nationwide to hold numerous "child-rearing support concerts."
