New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra members select and plan programs from their own unique perspectives in the ``Chamber Music Series - Orchestra Member Producer Edition''. There will also be a pre-talk by the performers before the performance.
New Japan Philharmonic 's Chamber Music Series has been running since 2004. It was started with the aim of improving the ensemble of the orchestra members and reaching out to new music fans. In April 2015, the title "Musician Producer Edition" was added, and the series has become established as a popular series with over 160 performances to date. The orchestra members themselves select the theme, select the music, and even produce the arrangements for their co-performers. This project has been well received as a way to enjoy the individuality of New Japan Philharmonic 's individual players and the appeal of their instruments, which is different from orchestra performances.
