About this event

Summarized from the official page and press materials.

What makes MUZA's Silvester Concert different from an ordinary orchestral performance?

MUZA Kawasaki Symphony Hall presents its Silvester Concert as an established New Year's Eve tradition. The 2026 edition brings together the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, conductor Naoto Otomo and two prominent musical theater vocalists. Rather than concentrating on a single composer or musical period, the program combines orchestral dances, ballet excerpts and recognizable theater songs. This creates a performance that can appeal to listeners familiar with classical music as well as people whose strongest musical associations come from stage productions.

The program moves between the instrumental and theatrical worlds. Weber's Invitation to the Dance and Johann Strauss II's Voices of Spring provide dance-inspired orchestral writing, while Stravinsky's The Firebird offers a more dramatic sound. The second major strand comes from international musical theater, with songs from The Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast and Les Miserables performed by Kojiro Oka and Natsumi Kon. The combination of orchestra and guest singers gives the annual concert a festive identity. So expect both instrumental showpieces and familiar musical theater melodies.
