TDK Orchestra Concert 2021

In accordance with our Corporate Motto of “Contribute to culture and industry through creativity,” TDK has been supporting performances in Japan by top-class orchestras from around the world in what are known as the TDK Orchestra Concerts. Furthermore, we hold the TDK Rising Stars Lectures to enable young people aspiring to follow the path of music to have a dialogue with professional musicians.

As with last year, this year again we were unable to invite an orchestra to Japan due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But we did hold an online lesson and online concert featuring members of the London Symphony Orchestra.
