Dai-ichi Life Hall, which is 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 in the internal meeting room of Dai-ichi Seimeikan, when it was requisitioned by GHQ, GHQ meetings, worship services, theaters, etc. were also held.

In 1952 after the war, the first regular concert of the Konoe Orchestra led by Hidemaro Konoe began, and in the early 1950s, performances such as regular concerts of the Konoe Orchestra and indoor appreciation concerts of the N Hibiki Chamber Orchestra were held frequently, and Dai-ichi Life Hall was quickly established as one of Japan's leading chamber music venues.

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