Ton Koopman live in Tokyo

Experience Ton Koopman live on February 20th

Ton Koopman will perform at NHK Hall in Tokyo, Japan on February 20, 2027. Koopman is internationally recognized as a pioneering figure in the historically informed performance of Baroque and Renaissance music. His interpretations are characterized by rigorous scholarship, a focus on original instrumentation – frequently employing instruments built to historical specifications – and a vibrant, energetic approach that aims to recreate the sound world of the composers he performs. He is particularly renowned for his complete recordings of Bach’s vocal works with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir, which he founded. Koopman typically performs as both organist and harpsichordist, often directing ensembles from the keyboard.
