Kazushi Ono live in Tokyo

Experience Kazushi Ono live on September 3rd

Kazushi Ono is a Japanese conductor renowned for his interpretations of 20th and 21st-century orchestral music, particularly focusing on composers like Messiaen, Ligeti, and Takemitsu. His style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, a clear articulation of complex textures, and a commitment to conveying the emotional depth within contemporary scores. He frequently champions lesser-known works alongside established repertoire.

The concert on September 3, 2026, will be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre. Opened in 1993, the theatre serves as a major performing arts center for Tokyo, hosting opera, ballet, concerts, and plays. It’s known for its acoustically refined Concert Hall which was designed with input from Yasuhisa Toyota, aiming for optimal sound projection and clarity.

The theatre complex itself forms part of the larger Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum complex in Ueno Park. It features a main hall seating approximately 1,999 people and a smaller Pit Hall suited for more intimate performances. The venue is operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture and is considered one of Japan’s leading cultural institutions dedicated to showcasing both domestic and international artistry.
