A new ensemble to bring youth together from all nationalities in Tokyo
The Tokyo College of Music International Youth Orchestra is a performing ensemble of students, aged 12-18, from any nationality. The orchestra aims to provide the opportunity for young musicians to study and perform symphonic works at a high level.
A Shared Experience
Gathering students from all over the Kanto area in international schools, private schools and public schools, the International Youth Orchestra aims to develop a shared understanding between young people from different countries, through social and musical interaction.
The orchestra also aims to develop young musicians who may seek a careers in music and nurture a love of classical music that will continue throughout their lives.
We hope to engage the public, the parents and corporate sponsors with like minded goals as partners in nurturing today’s youth.
The orchestra will be run through the Conducting Department at Tokyo College of Music, ensuring a high quality and standard of instruction will be attained and that every student will have an opportunity within the orchestra.
Rehearsals will be conducted once a week and in both English and Japanese to allow all participants the ability to understand the finer points in music.
