Bunkamura is a large multi-purpose complex opened in Shibuya, Tokyo in 1985. It comprises several performance spaces including Orchard Hall – the venue for this concert – a theatre, museums, and retail areas. Orchard Hall is particularly noted for its excellent acoustics and is considered one of Tokyo’s premier concert venues; it was designed with significant input from Yasuhisa Toyota, a renowned acoustician. The complex was developed as part of urban redevelopment efforts aiming to create a cultural hub within the bustling Shibuya district. Bunkamura regularly hosts international orchestras, ballet companies, and theatrical productions alongside exhibitions and other events.
