Tokyo Sinfonia

The orchestra of 19. The Tokyo Sinfonia has won much praise for its imaginative programming and inviting presentation, distinguished by warm sound, lively expression and friendly rapport with our audience. The orchestra of 19 is dedicated to presenting programmes to raise the standard of performance, encourage the next generation, and develop new audiences for music. In 2006, Maestro Robert Rÿker established the Tokyo Sinfonia, a string orchestra of highly talented young Japanese musicians. Under his baton, the Tokyo Sinfonia has attracted new, dedicated audiences to such venues as Oji Hall in Ginza, Munetsugu Hall in Nagoya, the Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan, the Golden Hall of the Tokyo Masonic Centre, and the Great Hall of the Russian Embassy. Maestro Rÿker and the Tokyo Sinfonia plan a full calendar of hallmark concerts. In Oji Hall, a series of symphonies and concerti for strings features seminal contributions to the repertoire in the masterful arrangements of Robert Rÿker. In the foreign correspondents’ club in Yurakucho, an attractive and accessible series of dinner-concert serenades combines a nation’s great music with its traditional cuisine.
