About
The Yamagata Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1972. Led by Principal Conductor BAN Tetsuro, YSO performs almost 150 times a year including “Sakuranbo (Cherry) Concert” in Tokyo and Osaka. Performing with natural brass instruments for classical period works is one of YSO’s special characteristics. From 2007 to 2015, the orchestra had performed and recorded all of Mozart’s symphonies at the concert series called “Voyage to Amadeus”. The orchestra performed in the film “Okuribito (Departures)” which won an Academy Award in 2008. In June 2020, the orchestra has started the concert series (also online streaming and DVD production) of Beethoven’s all symphonies. YSO celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2022.
