We would like to announce a change in the artist and program of Opening Gala Concert - An Evening of Chamber Music I.
Sadao Harada (cello), who was originally scheduled to perform Brahms：Piano Quartet No.1 in G minor op.25 – I.Allegro is unable to appear due to illness. As a result, the originally scheduled Brahms work will be replaced with the following program.

•　Britten：Lachrymae ──Reflections on a Song by John Dowland op.48
Performed by Mazumi Tanamura (Viola) and Hiroyuki Kato (Piano)
•　Mozart：Sonata for Violin and Piano No.17 in C major K.296
Performed by Federico Agostini (Violin) and Hiroyuki Kato (Piano)

Accordingly, the order of the program has also been revised. Please see the details below or visit the concert page for further information.

We sincerely apologize for this change.
Thank you for your kind understanding.
