A project to discover and nurture young musicians in the classical music world is now underway! A string quartet of professional performers and young musicians will team up!

Hirashin Hiratsuka Cultural Arts Hall Music Ambassador Masanori Kato presents this chamber music concert series.

2023 we will try our hand at a string quartet performance aimed at discovering and fostering young musicians for the future.

We will welcome Ms. Tomoko Kawada (violin) and Ms. Rei Tsujimoto (cello), who are top-class performers in terms of both popularity and ability,
and two young musicians selected by audition, Ms. Momoka Sato (violin) and Mr. Yuichiro Motoki (viola).
Two young performers selected by audition, Momoka Sato (violin) and Yuichiro Motoki (viola), will appear on stage.
With a program proposed by the young musicians, we will present a performance that can only be heard here!

A public lecture (November 26) & rehearsal (December 12) will be held as a related event.
