Maxim Emelyanychev live in Tokyo

Experience Maxim Emelyanychev live on December 10th

Maxim Emelyanychev, a Russian-born countertenor and harpsichordist, will perform at Suntory Hall in Tokyo on December 10, 2026. Emelyanychev is recognized for his historically informed performance practice, specializing in Baroque and early Classical repertoire. He frequently performs both as a vocalist and instrumentalist, often directing ensembles from the harpsichord. His interpretations are noted for their dynamic energy, technical precision, and expressive depth, aiming to recreate the sound world of the composers he interprets. He has gained international acclaim for his work with ensembles like Il Divo Baroque and as a soloist with leading orchestras worldwide.

Suntory Hall, opened in 1986, is considered one of the finest concert halls in the world due to its exceptional acoustics. Designed by architect Mamoru Takada with acoustic consultation from Yasuhisa Toyota, it was specifically engineered to achieve a natural reverberation considered ideal for both orchestral and chamber music. The hall’s vineyard-style seating arrangement—where the audience surrounds the orchestra—contributes to this renowned sound quality.
