About NHK Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo
The history of the NHK Symphony Orchestra dates back to October 5th, 1926 when a professional orchestra called the New Symphony Orchestra was formed. After being briefly called the Japan Symphony Orchestra, it was renamed the NHK Symphony Orchestra when it began to receive full financial support from Nippon Hoso Kyokai (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) in 1951. The orchestra continually invited many of the world's most renowned conductors of the time, including Karajan, Ansermet, Keilberth and Matačić, to name but a few, and worked with some of the world's most celebrated soloists to offer the public innumerable outstanding performances. In recent years, the orchestra has presented approximately 120 concerts nationwide annually, including 54 subscription concerts. It has also won world-wide acclaim for its overseas tours, including its first appearance in the Salzburg Festival in August 2013 and its European tour of 7 major cities including Berlin and Vienna in the spring of 2017.
