SUNTORY FOUNDATION FOR ARTS’ SUMMER FESTIVAL 2015

“Summer Festival” at Suntory Hall has introduced the music of the 20th century and beyond, and the music at the forefront since 1987. In 2013 it showed a different facet with a newly launched project “The Producer’s Series” that presents the producer’s picks spanning from the contemporary “classics” to various challenging performances beyond the boundary of music. This festival was one of the major projects presented for years by the Suntory Music Foundation, predecessor of the Suntory Foundation for Arts, and will hence explore and apprise creative frontiers of music. Shin-ichiro Ikebe inaugurated this series in 2013, followed by Toshiro Kido in 2014.

THE 25TH COMPETITION OF THE AKUTAGAWA AWARD FOR MUSIC COMPOSITION

Selecting several symphonic works filled with fresh energy and promise by upcoming Japanese composers, the elimination round for the award is held at a concert open to the public. The winning composer is commissioned to create a new work, which is premiered at a concert 2 years later in Summer Festival.
