Let's enjoy a music marathon at Ginza Oji Hall: Mozart Marathon 2019
Hello! My-Pace correspondent, often Shibata.
At the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year, Chuo-dori will be part of the marathon course, and I'm looking forward to seeing athletes all over the world running through the middle of the city of Ginza.
By the way, did you know that one year before, at the Oji Hall in Ginza, you can enjoy watching and listening to a different "marathon"?
Today, I would like to introduce you to such a wonderful opportunity.
・・The name is "Mozart Marathon 2019".
The 21 piano concertos left by the famous great composer W.A. Mozart.
It's an unprecedented project to play all of the eight concerts over four weeks! !
As you can see by those who are not very familiar with classical music, I would like to explain how amazing this is ...
About the station in Chuo-ku (22 stations in total), it's hard enough to go around all exits! (*It's my opinion)
Note) W.A. Mozart composes a total of 30 piano concertos, three songs without numbers, from No. 1 to No. 27, but seven songs that arrange piano songs from other composers and two songs that require multiple pianos are excluded from this concert, and a total of 21 songs will be performed.

Recordings of Gershwin, Grieg, Schubert, Shostakovich, Dvorak, Bach, Barber, Bern, Beethoven, Mendelszone, Mozart, Lalo, Reed, etc. are highly acclaimed for good balance, delicate pace, and rich expressiveness.
From the criticism of Montreal music critic Markou
"Borabo! This is a true song interpretation, reliable rhythm control, slow speed accuracy, smooth flow and momentum, almost classic approach. It's fresh. A great orchestra."
Piano soloist: Sarah Davis Bucner
One of the most creative pianists of modern times. With a huge repertoire of more than 100 songs, he has performed with famous orchestras in New York, Creveland, Pittsburgh, Tokyo and other major cities around the world. He has won numerous awards in the world's most prestigious international competitions, including Queen Elizabeth, Leeds, Salzburg, Sydney, Vienna, Gina Baccauer, and Tchaikovsky.
The performance had a rainbow-like color, and was so wonderful that the words were lost, and was applauded in concerts and recital. Washington Post "The performance of Ms. Bushner is beautiful, and if Mozart listened to it, he would have breathed."
Orchestra: Tokyo Symphonia
This is a stringed chamber orchestra founded in 2006 by conductor Robert Leiker.
Consisting of 19 performance members, from the science of Group Dynamics, the orchestra found a solution that creates a rich sound even with a small number of people, and has been evaluated as the "Great Little Orchestra".
In addition to the following performances, he has been active, such as conducting business trip performances.
・Symphony series concert for strings (Oji Hall)
・Concert with Special Guests (Oji Hall)
・Dinner & Concert on the theme of the country (Japan Foreign Correspondents Association)
＊This performance will be performed with members of Tokyo Symphony, including members of wind and percussion instruments.
Ticket information
Tickets can be purchased with only one performance, or if you purchase them through two performance sets or all performances, you will get a bargain.
I'd like to listen to everything because it's an occasional corner, but there are many people who say that all 8 performances are not easy to match. I'm one of them.
For such people, we recommend that you only have one or two performances. Just listening to one performance, you can listen to two or three piano concertos at once, and you can enjoy a fulfilling content.
★1 performance only
¥5,500/2 or more ¥5,000/Family ¥12,000/Student ¥2,500
★2 or more performances
