passionately move audiences, have been described as “a cry from the soul” and “sound of passion.” In April 2022, a new conductorship was appointed: Kazufumi Yamashita (Permanent Conductor), Makoto Shibata (Music Partner), and Naofumi Takahashi (Principal Guest Conductor), raising expectations for further growth for the orchestra. Orchestra official homepage (https://sym.jp) Note 1) “Big-screen film screenings x live orchestral music” This is a new style of concert experience. The film’s dialogue and sound effects are preserved, while the orchestra performs the music played during the film. The power of the images and music amplifies the sense of realism, bringing memorable scenes and the characters’ psychological states to life even more vividly. Popular in Europe and the United States, Cineoke has also performed in Japan, building a passionate fan base with each performance, featuring masterpieces such as “West Side Story,” “Jurassic Park,” “E.T.,” “Indiana Jones,” “Back to the Future,” “Titanic,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Harry Potter,” and the Star Wars series. “Cineoke®” is a registered trademark of Kyodo Tokyo Co., Ltd.
