Due to entry restriction related to COVID-19, Sapporo Symphony Orchestra has to decline invitation of Mo. Olli Mustonen, who were to appear as the conductor and pianist of the program.

Instead of Mr. Mustonen, Mo. Ken Takaseki will be conducting and Ms. Kyoko Takezawa, violin, will be appearing soloist. The original Beethoven Piano Concerto will be changed to Beethoven Violin Concerto, the original work of the composer. The work of Rautavaara, the mentor of Mo. Mustonen, will also be changed to Arvo Part’ s Cantus.

We thank you for your understandings.
