Greetings

Seiji Ozawa Music Academy has now marked over 20 years since commencing with Le Nozze di Figaro in 2000. With the desire to perform live music with colleagues in some way despite this COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to convene the Music Academy Orchestra in a special formation. In addition to the usual young musicians and coaches from the Saito Kinen Orchestra, Academy alumni will return to join us for what will also be a retrospect of the Academy’s history. With our history of 20 years, an increasing number of alumni are flourishing as soloists and professional orchestra members, so I greatly look forward to this.
I am truly delighted that Mr. Miyamoto, my colleague of 30 years, has readily agreed to conduct. It is regrettable that Diego cannot come, but having Mr. Miyamoto conduct again is wonderfully fortuitous in this milestone year for the Academy.
The entire world is struggling with this ongoing pandemic, but I believe that music is truly important for the human spirit. The Academy students, my Saito Kinen colleague coaches and alumni, and staff, who have consulted infectious disease experts again and again, will grant my earnest wish for live music.
I hope that you will join me in savoring the music that is created especially because we are in this moment.

Seiji Ozawa, Director and Artistic Director of Seiji Ozawa Music Academy
