In recent years, Joe Hisaishi, who is also active as a conductor, has started a series that brings out the new charm of classical pieces from the perspective of a composer. That is “JOE HISAISHI FUTURE ORCHESTRA CLASSICS”.
Hisaishi formed a new orchestra “Future Orchestra Classics” and held “Vol.1” in July 2019. He conducted Beethoven’s Symphonies No. 5 and 7 with a new interpretation and gained enthusiastic support from classical fans to a young audience. Hisaishi has been working on Brahms’ symphony series since “Vol.2” in 2020, which will be completed “Vol.5” in 2022. He conducted Schubert’s “Unfinished” and “The Great” in “Vol.6” in 2023 and Steve Reich’s “Desert Music.” in “Vol.7” in 2024.
And in 2026, “Vol.8” will feature “Low” Symphony (Symphony No.1) by Philip Glass, a leading composer in minimal music alongside Steve Reich. In addition, Joe Hisaishi’s latest work, Concerto for Orchestra, will receive its Japan premiere.
The program presented by Joe Hisaishi, connecting the past, present, and future, will invite audiences into the world of new classical music.
