Isabelle Faust live in Tokyo

Experience Isabelle Faust live on November 26th

Isabelle Faust will perform at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan on November 26, 2026. Faust is a German violinist internationally recognized for her historically informed performances and interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works. Her playing is characterized by a clarity of tone, a refined technique prioritizing expressive nuance over overt virtuosity, and a commitment to utilizing period instruments or historically appropriate setups when performing music from earlier eras. She frequently collaborates with orchestras and conductors who share this approach to performance practice.

Suntory Hall opened in 1986 and is considered one of the world’s finest concert halls, renowned for its exceptional acoustics. Designed by architect Yasuhisa Toyota, the hall’s design was heavily influenced by the Berliner Philharmonie, with acoustic consultant Yasunaga Yamashita playing a crucial role in achieving its celebrated sound quality. The hall seats approximately 2,008 people and is home to the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. It regularly hosts leading international orchestras, conductors, and soloists across a range of classical music genres. Suntory Hall is also notable for its extensive collection of art, including works by prominent Japanese artists displayed throughout the building.
