Comment from Violinist Chika Edanami
"The strong desire to create a sound that only this orchestra can produce has grown even stronger after experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year's performance was an unforgettable stage, where we all shared and empathized with the feeling of performing with all our might on the theme of 'music is medicine for the heart,' creating such profound energy. I am deeply moved and excited to think that we can deliver that energy to many people through screenings in movie theaters."
