The Dai-ichi Life Hall, which will be the venue, was built in Harumi Triton Square in 2001.

It has a long history as a hall, and was located on the 6th floor of Dai-ichi Seimeikan, which faces the moat of the Imperial Palace in 1952. Originally, it was a meeting room inside the Dai-ichi Seimeikan, and when it was requisitioned by GHQ, GHQ meetings, worship, drama, etc. were also held.

In 1952 after the war, the first regular concert of the Konoe Orchestra conducted by Hidemaro Konoe opened, and in the early 1950s, performances such as regular concerts of the Konoe Orchestra and indoor appreciation parties such as the N Hibiki Chamber Orchestra were frequently performed, and the Dai-ichi Life Hall quickly became established as Japan's leading chamber music concert hall.

Why don't you enjoy classical music in a hall that continues to walk in a new place while feeling such a history?
