The public lessons are open to all who play string instruments such as viola, violin, and cello (professionals and amateurs alike), as well as music enthusiasts. The concerts are recommended not only for music lovers but for everyone.
About Activity
Renowned violist Nobuko Imai and three other world-class viola players will offer a seven-day masterclass at the Symphony Hall in the countryside. Students aspiring to become professional violists, as well as young violists already active as professionals and selected from around the world, will participate in these lessons. The program will culminate in a concert by the students and a recital by the instructors, both held at the same hall.
Some parts of the lessons will be open to the public, and free “outreach concerts” by the students will be held at various locations throughout the city, encouraging interaction with local residents.
How to Participate
You can apply for the public lessons through the Tambasasayama International Viola Masterclass website. Concert tickets can be purchased at the Symphony Hall, via Lawson Ticket, or from the organizing committee. For any inquiries, please contact us through the website.
