■ A globally rare case of a 22-year-old combining "Composition × Conducting × Orchestra"
The case of a 22-year-old launching their own orchestra, conducting their own compositions, and holding a debut performance in a large hall is extremely rare globally. As a fluid orchestra composed entirely of musical college elites, it also serves as a place for practical education for young professional talent. As a new cultural project from Yokohama with social significance and a narrative of being a "next-generation orchestra born from education," we will expand our activities not only in Japan but with an eye on the world.
