Announcement of Change of Conductor for Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 Special Concerts
Maestro Kensho Watanabe, the conductor who was scheduled to perform
at the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 Special
Concerts, has suddenly become unable to come to Japan due to the
suspension of new entry for foreigners issued by the Japanese government
on November 30.
In his place, Maestro Kosuke Tsunoda will conduct. We ask for your

ticket price due to this change.
