Aiming to make music more accessible and enjoyable for those who don't usually have the opportunity to attend concerts, this project, which began in 2017 as part of Sumida Ward's "Sumida Dream Support Grant Program," is now in its tenth year and has grown into an annual event that enjoys the support of a wide range of people both inside and outside the ward. We are working to further enhance the content of the project in order to further enliven Sumida, the city of music.

We will record small ensembles at facilities, businesses, and shops within Sumida Ward, and provide a guided tour of Sumida Ward's famous landmarks accompanied by music performed by members of New Japan Philharmonic.
⑥ We have made the program booklets from past "subscription concert" available online.
